Eat less but better meat and opt for organic
By opting for organic and reducing our meat consumption, we can make a real difference in the fight against climate change.
Nature friendly farming systems, like organic, have high animal welfare standards and work with the land, not against it.
Grazing animals play an important part in nature friendly farming. They help keep soils healthy, locking in more carbon and helping plants and organisms to thrive. They also reduce the need for harmful chemical fertilisers as they naturally recycle nutrients into the soil.
Nature friendly farming systems also help fight deforestation in UK supply chains. Intensive farming systems rely on animal feed, like soya, which often takes up large areas of land to grow. Rainforests and wildlife-rich land in places like Latin America are often destroyed to make space for this.
Organic farmers, however, are required to meet a strict set of standards, ensuring that animals are given space and fresh air and are fed high quality food, not imported soya crops from the Americas.
Supporting organic farmers is a great way to do your bit to help protect our planet. Opt for organic today.
