The way we feed our animals has a great impact on the environment. You can reduce that impact considerably by sourcing our food locally, for example not from South America but simply from The Netherlands. “We have to produce our animal feed locally. Difficult? No, we have
plenty of options.”
If we listen to Peter and go with his solution it will not only be better for the environment. Or the rainforest. But also for the farmers. “Now livestock must be reduced due to environmental impact. Our solution reduces the nitrogen and phosphate problem in manure and leads to less need for reduction of livestock.” But what is that solution? It is right there. Under our noses. It has far more potential benefits for animals AND people alike than ever thought
of before; biorefining of Grass. With an innovative process, grass (or any other green vegetable
residues) can be used for efficient feeding of livestock, as organic fertilizer and even as a better source of protein for humans, vegetarian or not.
In this way, we can continue to feed the world with milk, eggs and meat, or with plant-based protein without running out of land and without increasing the damage to the environment
