A mind-bender was recently featured in Fortune magazine about a plant-based meat startup incorporating actual animal fat to improve taste and texture: "It didn’t sizzle right, it didn’t smell right..." Quite the compromise to the core ethos of plant-based eating, no? At this point, it's not too long till we have lab-grown plant-based animal fat. And this isn't the first time "sustainability efforts" seem to take a twist: Carbon offsets - is this a mere #greenwashing smokescreen or legit climate action? Recycling is another case, shouldn't we avoid wastefulness altogether? This should make us question the true impact and authenticity of so-called sustainability efforts. While innovation is crucial, what's it worth if it compromises our core values? Anyway, what do you think? Is plant-based fat a betrayal of the revolution or a genius meat-lover compromise? https://lnkd.in/dQJ5-yGW #plantbased #sustainability #animalfat #futureoffood #innovation #ethics #transparency #consumerethics #fortune #greenfuture

In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations. This quote from the Iroquois Confederacy's founding document resonates deeply with the urgent need for sustainable action today. It's time for substantial, data-driven initiatives that genuinely prioritize sustainability over greenwashing. This article addresses the challenges posed by environmentally destructive factory farming manure lagoons. (99% of all animals in the US are trapped in factory farms.) But what if we could eliminate the scourge of factory farming altogether by transitioning to plant-based meat? Imagine the profound impact this shift could have on large food management companies like Bon Appétit Management Company, making it a leader in ultimate sustainability practices. Currently, we raise and slaughter a staggering 80 billion land animals annually to feed 8 billion people, causing significant harm to our planet, health and animals. By embracing a diet rich in meat from plants, we can eliminate the "middle animal", aligning our actions with our core values and significantly reducing our environmental footprint. #hungryplanet #hungryplanetmeats #sustainablefood https://lnkd.in/ggAzE9yk

🐄Dairy fits in a healthy and sustainable diet, provided that attention is paid to making the dairy chain more sustainable. 👩🌾What steps do dairy farmers take to make dairy more sustainable? 🚜In this video, you get a glimpse of circularity on Dutch dairy farms. Dairy farmer, Judith, shows what she does to close the cycle on her dairy farm. Sustainability advisor, Delian, explains about water quality, nature and greenhouse gas emissions related to sustainable dairy farming.

Hellmann’s Calls to Action Hellmann's "Save Our Sandwiches" (S.O.S.) campaign is a strategic marketing effort aimed at addressing several key objectives. By focusing on regenerative farming practices, Hellmann’s positions itself as a responsible brand committed to sustainability. This approach not only aligns with increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products but also addresses growing concerns about the sustainability of food sources and the impact of agriculture on the planet. The campaign educates consumers on the importance of regenerative agriculture—a system that aims to restore soil health and biodiversity while sequestering carbon. By explaining how these practices impact the quality and availability of ingredients like soybeans, essential for their mayonnaise, Hellmann's enhances consumer awareness and engagement with the brand’s environmental efforts.

Yesterday we witnessed the importance of two #BCorps coming together to learn, share and re-apply best practices. Did you know that Kipster, the revolutionary farmers, are the most forward-thinking Dutch egg farmer putting the #environment and #animalwelfare at its core? They successfully achieved #climateneutrality for the eggs by following the Carbon Neutral Protocol in a clear, transparent and credible manner, reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible and offsetting any remaining emissions by investing in external carbon reduction projects. Most importantly, we learnt that they mainly reduce emissions by feeding the hens with residual flows from #foodproduction - a feed developed from our human leftovers (bakeries, grocery stores, candy stores...). And what's more, white eggs help reduce #co2 footprint by 5% so the time is ours to follow a more #sustainable diet, stop wasting food, and reducing and offsetting emissions! Together, we can accelerate the transition towards a regenerative economy!

Let's dive into the journey of sustainable meats! 🛤️ From farm to table, sustainable meat production is all about reducing our environmental footprint while providing healthier options for our families. 🏡✨ It starts with ethical farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and land conservation. Farmers use rotational grazing and organic feed to ensure the animals are healthy and the soil remains fertile. 🌾🐄 Next, we have processing methods that minimize waste and energy use. This means using every part of the animal and employing eco-friendly packaging. ♻️📦 By choosing sustainable meats, you're not just feeding your family better, but also supporting a healthier planet. 🌍💚 Want to learn more about sustainable living and how it can improve your health and finances?

From The Prompt's newsletter: Climate Change To Drive Demand for Sustainable Food Sources: As the effects of climate change become more pressing, the demand for sustainable food sources is rapidly increasing. A recent study has shed light on the negative impact of industrial animal agriculture on the environment, highlighting the urgent need for change. The production of meat and other animal products not only contributes to high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, but also takes up a significant amount of agricultural land. In order to encourage consumers to adopt more sustainable food choices, it is crucial to find innovative solutions that provide the same satisfying taste and texture as traditional animal-based products. Through initiatives such as the 'meatiness' alternative offered by Genuine Taste, we can pave the way towards a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable food industry. #food & beverage,

Adopting a plant-based diet is a powerful personal choice that can combat the environmental challenges posed by the global food supply chain. Animal agriculture, responsible for a substantial portion of these emissions, could be reduced by up to 49% through a shift to plant-based production, reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Beyond emissions, a plant-based approach reduces deforestation, conserves land more efficiently, and minimizes water use, with the production of one kilogram of beef requiring 43,000 liters of water compared to 1,000 liters for an equivalent weight of grain. Choosing a plant-based lifestyle not only aligns with environmental sustainability but also promotes personal health, offering a tangible and impactful way to contribute to a greener, healthier future for the planet. #DidYouKnow #PlantBasedDiet #ShiftingGaia #SustainableLiving
