In the wake of COVID-19, vegan and veggie alternatives are becoming increasingly popular as people cast a more critical eye on food sources. Disruptor Planty of Meat is ready to jump into mainstream diets with plant-based, eco-friendly ‘meat’ products that are produced in Germany.

As the COVID-19 pandemic dampens moods and increases stress levels, people have begun to turn to ‘mood-boosting’ products to alleviate these feelings. Some food brands are riding this wave of desire for a lift, with mood-boosting ingredients aimed at tuning into these needs.

Interest in foraging has grown as people seek to reinvigorate their connection to nature, cut down on meat consumption, and adopt eco-friendly behaviours. Once led by luxury restaurants looking for unusual, local ingredients, why are people signing up to learn how to forage for their dinner?

As the pandemic continues to impact much of people’s behaviour, it has also acted as a catalyst for people to eat healthier. Plant-based meat alternatives and products that boost immunity and aid sleep are experiencing a boom as people take a more considered approach to health and diet.
