Better Dairy is building the future of food, starting with better, animal-free dairy.
Dairy farming is unsustainable, a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and inefficient in the use of natural resources. Plant-based alternatives also aren’t that great. They are inferior in terms of flavor and nutrition, and often don’t have a texture comparable to dairy products.
Better Dairy uses synthetic biology and precision fermentation to produce dairy products, following a similar process to brewing beer. Their products, molecularly identical to dairy but 100% animal-free, replicate the taste and texture of traditional dairy cheese, and seamlessly integrate into dairy supply chains and recipes. With 95% less greenhouse gas emissions and 90% less water consumption than traditional dairy production, Better Dairy is paving the way for a healthier dairy future that benefits both us and the planet.
