About the BioScience Report, chickens, eggs and sustainability

11/7/2019

 
Picture
This week, more than 11,000 scientists issued a warning that "clearly and unequivocally,.. planet Earth is facing a climate emergency."

Here is a small pastured eggs farm's call to action: buy a couple of chickens!

All your food scraps will be utilized. Any leftover food will be fully recycled into egg production. Let them free in the back garden. Let them fertilize, scratch, engage in their natural behavior. Let them put nitrogen and organic matter back in the soil.

The food they will make for you (eggs) has some of the lowest carbon footprint of all protein sources. Graph of food carbon footprint not per kg of food, but per gram of protein below:

If you can't raise chickens, then ask questions when you buy your food. How is the food produced? How are the animals treated? How sustainable is the farming system?

All of our actions, all our decision, every day, every person. This is the only way to care for the planet. Not declarations, nor summits by politicians.

Be the change you want to see in the world. It all starts with you.
