What are plant-based meat?

India will become the most populous country, the largest economy, and experience the greatest rise in meat consumption.


We need to think more about how India will eat meat in the next 30 years and what that means for the food system and the environment.

I recently completed an internship at GoodDot, India’s largest plant-based meat company.

I set out for this summer hoping to learn more about startups reducing the environmental impact of protein production. Before traveling to Udaipur, India, where GoodDot is based, I spent May and June interning for Solar Foods in Helsinki, Finland.

When I told friends and family about my plans, I heard a similar response: “But isn’t basically everyone in India vegetarian anyway?”
