Microalgae and seaweed-based foods offer a more sustainable option in the circular economy due to their low environmental impact compared to traditional animal-based products. These alternatives are known for their significantly lower carbon footprints and reduced water intensity in production. Unlike beef and dairy, which top the charts in emissions and water usage, microalgae and seaweed have the potential to address ecological concerns by requiring fewer resources, minimizing land use, and offering a more environmentally friendly option for sustainable food choices. 📍𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 📍𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 📍𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 Ref: https://lnkd.in/e8dXC7kV More info on seaweed-based meat analogs: Yesuraj, D., Deepika, C., Ravishankar, G.A., Ranga Rao, A.

“The adoption of sustainable nutrition practices proves to be a pivotal solution to the challenges posed by climate change, deforestation, and resource depletion. By embracing plant-based diets, reducing food waste, and supporting local and regenerative agriculture, individuals can actively contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the mitigation of environmental degradation. Moreover, sustainable nutrition recognizes the importance of ethical treatment of animals, emphasizing humane practices and responsible sourcing. Thus achieving harmony on the plate involves a symbiotic relationship between the choices we make for our nourishment and the impact on the planet. By adopting sustainable eating habits, people are contributing to a healthier, more balanced world, creating a future where eating is seen as a conscious and meaningful part of our collective mission to create a more sustainable and more harmonious world.” https://lnkd.in/gxgV9EcR
