Climate change impacts us all—governments, corporations, and individuals alike. Recently, we hosted a workshop with Climate Fresk that underscored our collective responsibility to address this urgent issue. At Switch Foods, sustainability is not just a goal; it’s woven into our DNA. During the workshop, we delved into the significant impact of dietary choices, particularly the role of red meat in contributing to climate change. By making informed decisions, we can each play a part in fostering a healthier planet. We also explored the advantages of sourcing and distributing locally. This practice not only helps reduce CO2 emissions but also supports our community. A big thank you to Alex Misseri and Mia Tahan for sharing their valuable insights. We are excited to continue our partnership with Climate Fresk and work towards raising awareness in our region. Together, let’s turn knowledge into action! 💪✨ #Sustainability #ClimateAction #SwitchFoods #ClimateFresk #ActOnClimate
نبذة عنا
We provide the local culinary scene with plant-based alternatives that celebrate and enrich our traditional cuisine without exhausting the planet. Incubated, produced, and distributed in the UAE, we make you rediscover your favorite grills in their animal-free version. So that less meat doesn’t mean less taste or quality, just less cruelty and harm for all living beings – including ourselves.

I love growing businesses with marketing. I enjoy helping people become their best and achieve their dreams. I’m passionate about investing and scaling companies.
I’ll be interviewing the man of the hour Edward Hamod, Founder & CEO of Switch Foods. Switch offers plant-based meat that’s not only delicious but also sustainable. I’m a regular customer, which is why I reached out to Edward. Switch has been receiving fantastic reviews from consumers, chefs, dietitians, and nutrition experts. Edward and his team have already expanded to four markets in the region beyond the UAE, and they’re in talks to enter four more by the end of 2024. Edward believes that consumer education and awareness about the health risks of meat will continue to drive growth in the region and beyond, and he’s committed to being part of that change. If you have any questions you'd like me to ask Edward about his journey at Switch, especially from a marketing perspective, feel free to write your questions below or send me a DM. #plantbasedmeat #marketing #mastersofmarketing

We are thrilled to be featured in Gulf Business as we continue our journey in redefining plant-based eating in the UAE! 🌱💪 Check out the full article to learn more about our story and the rise of Healthy Plant Based Meat alternatives in the MENA region. #switchfoods #plantdiets #plantbasedmeat #sustainablefoodsystems #uae
Since its inception over a year ago, Switch Foods is addressing the key challenges typically associated with plant-based products—taste, texture, and affordability—while working to develop alternatives that meet consumer expectations and compete directly with traditional meat in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Supported by the UAE government’s strong advocacy for the alternative protein sector, Switch Foods has benefitted from growing awareness about the health and environmental advantages of plant-based diets. In collaboration with prominent partners such as Al Safadi, Paul Café, The First Group, Emirates Airlines, and The Millennium Hotels & Resorts Group, Switch Foods is curating exclusive plant-based menus aimed at offering consumers a healthier and more sustainable dining experience. To gain further insight into the nascent yet growing alternative protein industry, Gulf Business speaks to Edward Hamod, CEO and founder of Switch Foods. #plantprotein #alternatemeat #peaprotein
