Sustainable agriculture and Balanu in Ida
The Ida Mountains have the second highest oxygen content in the world.
Outside the forest areas there are rich agricultural areas.
Balanu practices sustainable farming in the Ida Mountains, where there is great endemic diversity, and sources its produce from its own gardens or from local producers.
The ecological benefits of plant proteins
"Eating more plant-based proteins not only nourishes your body,
it can help restore the planet!
Plant-based proteins are naturally lactose-free and suitable for people with dairy sensitivities or allergies. Plant-based proteins, on the other hand, tend to be easier on the digestive system and cause fewer allergies
With pea and rice protein you can create a complete amino acid profile similar to whey protein."
Carbon Emissions
"A 2019 study showed that switching from an omnivorous diet to veganism
reducing personal greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent,
during the transition to a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet they decreased by 35 percent."
Water Conversation
Water consumption is another key area where plant proteins outshine animal proteins.
According to data from the Water Footprint Network, an advocacy group dedicated to solving the global
water crisis, meat such as beef, poultry and pork consume significantly more
Water than plant proteins such as legumes, nuts and cereal grains.
UN Supported
Even if you do not choose to make your protein consumption completely plant-based,
You may want to consider making some small changes to promote the health of the planet.
The environmental impact of reducing meat consumption is so remarkable,
that the 2019 UN climate report called for a global reduction in animal protein.
