You can order the updated Refter Burger at Angus corner: with or without cheese, single or double deck. A panel of tasters already did so: check out the first reactions on Instagram. For those who can't get enough: Beyond Meat will also be present with a food truck at the introduction market on 19 August.
Since 2009, Beyond Meat has been creating products that have the same taste and texture as animal meat, but offer some great environmental benefits. Their brand promise, Eat What You Love™, represents the strong belief that there is a better way to protect our future, and that all the positive choices we make – no matter how small – help.
Toward 80% plant-based
This belief closely reflects the sustainability goals of Radboud University. Our daily food choices have a significant impact on the world around us – and therefore play an important role in realizing a more sustainable campus. We choose seasonal and natural products from close by, we keep food waste to a minimum and we promote choices that benefit the environment. This is the reason that the plant-based burger slightly cheaper than the beef variant.
At the moment 75% of the food on offer at the university's catering outlets is vegetarian or plant-based – and the catering completely vegetarian. Together, we work towards a minimum of 80%. Do you want to know more? Take a look at the webpage about sustainability in food and drinks.
Want to contribute yourself?
Do you want to contribute to sustainability on campus? There are numerous initiatives for staff and students. There is a lot to do within course programs and in the context of conducting research – and there are several groups working on sustainability in many different areas.
