According to a new report byΒ the @FAO, the hidden costs of our #foodsystem add up to at least $10 trillion - equivalent to 10% of global GDP.
One-fifth of the impact was on the environment, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation and water use.

#foodwaste is pretty terrifying if you ask us π
It's responsible for 8% of all GHG emissions.
π By feeding waste to insects, we reduce the emissions and make the food chain circular.
Because future Halloweens should be focused on ghosts and pumpkins, not on climate change π»

πΆπ± Research has shown that pets play a significant role in the climate crisis due to their meat-heavy diets.
Just like with human diets, we need to look at their impact and see if it can be minimised.
Insect-based alternatives provide a solution to this problem π

πΆπ± The pet industry consumes 20% of the world's fish and meat, generating 106m tonnes of CO2.
As humans, we're already looking at how to reduce the impact of our diets. Now our pets need to be included.
The good news? Insects can help us π

πΆπ± From premium meat cuts to fancy supplements, the pet food sector is transforming.
But are traditional meats a good direction for the already high carbon industry?
We think insect-based pet food is the way to goπ

Most food waste ends up in landfill, where it emits methane, or in anaerobic digesters (AD).

Each X-series container processes up to 300 tonnes of waste each year.
It's a win-win for the planet and the food companies that can convert their waste into sustainable feed. (3/3)
