🐶🐱 More than half the world is estimated to have a pet at home. However, research has shown that pets play a significant role in the climate crisis. 🥩 This is mainly due to their meat-heavy diets. The production of pet food emits huge amounts of greenhouse gases. We’re not against keeping pets, of course! But, just like with human diets, we need to look at their impact and see if it can be minimised. 🐛 And insect-based alternatives provide a solution to the pet food problem. #petfood #sustainablefood #insectpetfood

ECO30 Day 12 Challenge: Embrace Plant-based Meals Embracing plant-based meals involves consuming foods primarily derived from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, while minimizing or eliminating the consumption of animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs. Plant-based diets are recognized for their health benefits and ethical considerations, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking to improve their well-being and reduce their ecological footprint. Consuming plant-based meals offers numerous advantages, including supporting personal health, reducing environmental impact, and promoting animal welfare. By incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet, you can enjoy a diverse and nutritious array of meals while contributing to a more sustainable and compassionate food system. #ECO30Impact

Our diet is genuinely important in terms of carbon footprint. “Should I go veggie or vegan?” Some of the worst vegetarian diets can match a meat and dairy diet if veg is fully out of season, airfreighted, and from unsustainable production methods. “Should I swap beef for chicken?” In general yes, in carbon terms the most efficient protein is chicken but understand antibiotic use, feed, on-farm practices and animal welfare. Yep, these are the sorts of questions you’ll hear when it comes to people looking to take personal responsibility for their impact on the planet. Feeding the world, environmental degradation, carbon footprint… There are so many environmental issues surrounding food and diet and it can be difficult to find answers. Of course, at Future Green Global | B Corp, food sustainability solutions are something I’m involved in every single day. But, if you’re curious to explore more around this topic for yourself… You’ll want to avoid the jargon and actually get to the heart of the issue. “There Is No Planet B”  and “How Bad are Bananas?” by Mike Berners-Lee are interesting books that do just that. If you’ve read them, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. https://lnkd.in/gSq7Ziph http://bit.ly/40q4d3M #foodandbeverage #sustainability #hospitality #carbonfootprint
