We are Planted. After years of research, founded in July 2019 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, it is our very aim to make the world better. With a revolutionary plan: Meat from plants. Planted is more than a delicious product – it’s also an attitude. We want to radically change the way people consume and perceive meat.
