Impossible Burger: Commitment to consumers and our planet led us to use GM soy

How our commitment to consumers and our planet led us to use GM soy
By Pat Brown, CEO Founder of Impossible Foods
Starting later this month, some of the soy protein used in the Impossible Burger will come from genetically modified soybeans sourced from farms in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. From the start, Impossible Foods has embraced the responsible, constructive use of genetic engineering to solve critical environmental, health, safety and food security problems. And crucially for critics of GM agriculture and those interested in food and environmental safety: About 80% less herbicide is required to produce the Impossible Burger than an average American cow-derived burger, because of the large amount of crops required to feed a cow to produce beef.
