The plant-based food revolution is only growing stronger. To date, Tyson, Smithfield, Perdue, Hormel, and Nestle have jumped on the plant-based bandwagon. Even fast food chains like McDonald’s introduced a McPlant meatless burger. “Plant-based foods are revolutionizing the way people eat across meal occasions, including breakfast,” said Scott Glenn, senior director of marketing, Jimmy Dean brand, as quoted in a company press release. However, that may just be the start, with the plant-based food and beverage market expected to reach $32.29 billion by 2027, according to Emergen Research. It’s all creating big opportunity for companies like Plant & Co. Brands Ltd. (CSE: VEGN)(OTC: EURPF), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Guru Organic Energy Corp. (TSX:GURU), Very Good Food Company Inc. (CSE:VERY)(OTC:VRYYF), and Burcon NutraScience Corp. (TSX:BU)(OTC:BUROF).
