Our Story
In early 2022, The Modern Agriculture Foundation launched Better Plate, the Middle East's first alternative protein accelerator track. This unique program operates in partnership with MassChallenge Israel's Core Accelerator, and benefits from a distinguished team of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders.
Better Plate aims to accelerate Israeli and international early-stage startups that are developing sustainable food innovations such as plant-based proteins, fermented foods, or cultivated meat. The goal of the program is to disrupt the traditional animal protein sector and promote a better, healthier world.
