Jeff Benzo’s take on the matter.
Jeff Bezo’s current plant-based investment Jeff Bezo’s has already started investing in plant-based meat companies. Last the year he made an investment worth 30 million dollars for a vegan mayonnaise company. This investment will surely attract more business tycoons and big companies to invest and to support plant-based food products.

Support for plant-based meat from other billionaires.
Not only this, but the founder of Amazon, Virgin, and Microsoft that is Bezos, Branson, and Gates have invested in many other vegan companies as well. Some of them include vegan burger giants, like Impossible Food and Beyond Meat.
After the investment done by the three tycoons, Impossible food is growing and developing at a faster pace, and are looking forward to doubling the production for vegan meat, and for the same, they have
started hiring people. While, on the other hand, according to the reports given by CNBC, Beyond meat is trying to grow by diversifying its menu, by launching new vegan food items like Vegan Bacon and vegan steak.

their menu to attract more people, while some other companies are trying to hire more number of employees so that they can have two shifts, which would lead to a double profit of the company.
