Meet the beef that's giving humans a new future

Hopdoddy Burger Bar has removed plant-based meat analogs from its menus and added “regenerative meat,” the Austin, Texas-based burger chain said Monday.

Vice president of culinary Matt Schweitzer said in a release announcing the shift that regenerative farming, an approach to agriculture that emphasizes soil health and fostering a more biologically diverse ecosystem, is “one of the most effective ways to help reverse climate change.”

The beef is being sourced from Force of Nature, another Austin-based company that grazes animals on pastures without synthetic chemicals, and doesn’t treat them with hormones or antibiotics.
