Why are some pet foods so devastating to the planet? The production of meat-based pet food creates significant environmental impact - from deforestation for animal feed crop land, to waste and carbon emissions from factory farms. The pet food industry has traditionally leaned heavily on these practices, contributing to the global climate crisis. But it doesn't have to be this way. Consider upcycled treats; they utilize the by-products that would have otherwise gone to waste in human food production. It's about repurposing ingredients which are perfectly safe and nutritious for our pets, but are usually discarded because they don't fit human tastes or aesthetics. This closes a gap in our food system, preventing waste and reducing reliance on environmentally taxing resources. Innovation in sustainability is possible even in areas you least expect it. We can reshape industries without compromising on quality or nutrition. All we need is a bit of creativity, courage and commitment towards a greener future. So next time you buy pet food, think twice — could there be a more sustainable choice?
