Fazenda Futuro

Fazenda Futuro (also known as Future Farm), based in Brazil, is a plant-based meat and seafood startup. The startup uses ingredients like chickpeas, beans, soybeans, plant extracts, canola oil, coconut oil, sal, and beetroot, and True Texture Technology to replicate the texture and the mouthfeel of actual meat and fish. Fazenda Futuro’s plant-based portfolio includes Future Burger, Future Ground Beef, Future MeatBalls, Future Tuna, Future Sausage, and Future Tuna. In February 2024 , the company announced plans to roll out strategic product reformulations across its entire range. Through this initiative, the company aims to deliver products that closely mimic the taste, texture, and sensory properties of real meat.
