Sustainability
The traditional pet food industry, heavily reliant on animal-based ingredients, exerts a substantial environmental toll across multiple fronts, including greenhouse gas emissions, land and water usage, and other ecological factors.
It is imperative that we confront these impacts within the context of sustainable pet ownership and responsible food production practices. By addressing the environmental ramifications of the pet food industry, particularly through the widespread adoption of sustainable, plant-based diets, we can make significant strides in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving precious natural resources, and fostering a more eco-friendly approach to nurturing our beloved companions.

Environmental Impact Comparison
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The pet food industry is responsible for approximately 106 million tons of CO2eq annually - ranking as the 60th highest emitter globally, surpassing entire countries like Mozambique.
Land Use Impact
95% of pet food sales require about 49 million hectares of land—almost double the size of the UK. Livestock farming uses 77% of global farming land while yielding just 37% of protein supply.
