Plant-Based brioche: 55% lower impact on the environment

12 Apr 2023

Plant-based is one of the biggest and fastest-growing trends in the bakery, patisserie and chocolate industry. Moreover, it’s a huge global trend in the food industry overall. Between 2018 and 2021, the number of consumers purchasing plant-based food weekly almost doubled. Based on our Taste Tomorrow consumer research, 60% of consumers believe plant-based food has a positive impact on the environment. People buy plant-based products for reasons mainly related to animal welfare, health and sustainability.
