As a start-up on its road to the scale-up phase, we also do all those \u2018boring\u2019 things that most companies do; you name it: meetings. These are moments when we plan out our strategy and operations moving forward, but we also take the time to remind ourselves what is the reason behind our concept, the core that drives it all from the beginning:\n<blockquote>Why is it that we do what we do and how does this contribute to society?<\/blockquote>\nWe started the Vegan Butcher with a certainty: Our planet cannot sustain the current dietary habits of its population for much longer. We started wondering&#8230; \u2018What is then the future of food\u2019?\n\nWe might not have a magic wand but, from our humble perspective and experience, we see the future of food right at the <strong>intersection of purpose and innovation<\/strong>. But let us explain this better.\n\nAt the Vegan Butcher, purpose is not just a buzzword &#8211; it&#8217;s the only and true foundation of everything we do.
