The tofu that's saving dinner—and the planet

April 16, 2025

“Small, easy steps can really add up to nourish yourself and the planet.”
— minh tsai, founder of hodo foods
One, be water smart. Soybeans use significantly less water than animal agriculture and up to 10x less water than almonds. Choosing soybeans and tofu can significantly reduce your environmental footprint.
Two, share the plate. Cut saturated fat by mixing plant protein with your meats. Add tofu to stir frys or salads. Swap half your burger meat for mushrooms.
Three, choose organic when you can. Organic farming = healthier planet. Soybeans are nitrogen-fixing and good for soil health.
Four, save money with tofu and beans. Soybeans are an efficient source of protein per unit of land with one of the highest usable grams of protein per acre. Soybeans and tofu (which is made from soybeans) are often an economical source of protein.
