The Need for Sustainability in Pet Food Pets are often seen as an extension of the family. This creates a higher demand for high-quality food for them where pet parents leave no stone unturned to select the best ingredients for their diet. The demand for high-quality food for pet is on the rise. Did you know dog food made up three-quarters of the GBP 900 million retail pet food sales in the UK? In this scenario, sustainability plays a big role in creating a balance between the demand and supply of pet food.
Sustainability in Various Industries Sustainability is being adopted widely across several industries. Here are the various industries which are adopting sustainability and how they are doing so: • Power and Energy Sector - Green initiatives for lesser emissions and better recycling of waste • Petroleum and Refinery Sector - Shifting to renewable energy sources like solar energy. • Agri-business Sector - Reuse of eco-friendly waste and energy conservation • Mining Sector - Efficient effluent treatments and proper plantations in mining areas.
Sustainability in Pet Food Industry - Environment Sustainability also plays an important role for the environment. Through the processes of reducing, reusing and recycling, it’s possible to protect the environment. Utilising technology to move towards a greener future is a key to achieving this. For example, biotechnology is an evolving technology that can used to reduce the damage on the environment .
Sustainability in Pet Food Industry - People The benefits of sustainability don’t just involve your pets but people as well. Adoption of a sustainable initiative not only boosts the morale of the employees working in a certain company but also employs them in green actions for the environment. Moreover, it also provides employment to a lot of people thus fighting unemployment as well. Sustainability, thus, is a major investment towards job creation and thereby positive environmental impact.
Go Vegetarian There are several vegetable sources of protein too like land cress, purple kale, yak cheese, dandelion, red chard, brewer’s yeast and duckweed. These proteins sources also provide the necessary amino acids required in pet food. Since these require less water and energy to produce, thus these are good alternatives.
Avoid Overfeeding A very easy way of reducing environmental footprints by not overfeeding your pets. This not only prevents overproduction, thereby reducing wastage, but also prevents obesity in pets.
The Future of Sustainable Pet Food One of the strongest and predominant trends that seems to be coming up with regards to sustainable pet food is the concept of sustainable sourcing. The drive towards choosing alternative ingredients fulfils the nutritional needs of pets as well as strikes the right balance in the environment. Sustainable sourcing, thus, seems to be the future, where irrespective of where our pets are in the consumption or the production chain, it’s possible to create a positive footprint on the community and the ecosystem as a whole.
