Better Origin

We fix the broken food chain.

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

Now is the time for the food industry to take action.

If we want to feed our growing population sustainably, we need to become better.

To start thinking of waste as an opportunity.

♻️ To let nothing go to landfill, but upcycle it instead.

It's time to #FixtheFoodChain!

Allergies, health problems, and impact on the planet are the top worries of pet owners worldwide.

🐛 But insect-based food can help address these problems.

Here's how 👇

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

According to a new report by the @FAO, the hidden costs of our #foodsystem add up to at least $10 trillion - equivalent to 10% of global GDP.

One-fifth of the impact was on the environment, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation and water use.

🌱 #TrueCostofFood

#foodwaste is pretty terrifying if you ask us 🎃

It's responsible for 8% of all GHG emissions.

🐛 By feeding waste to insects, we reduce the emissions and make the food chain circular.

Because future Halloweens should be focused on ghosts and pumpkins, not on climate change 👻

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

🐶🐱 Research has shown that pets play a significant role in the climate crisis due to their meat-heavy diets.

Just like with human diets, we need to look at their impact and see if it can be minimised.

Insect-based alternatives provide a solution to this problem 🐛

🐶🐱 The pet industry consumes 20% of the world's fish and meat, generating 106m tonnes of CO2.

As humans, we're already looking at how to reduce the impact of our diets. Now our pets need to be included.

The good news? Insects can help us 👇

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

@BSFCON23 tickets sold out much earlier than we expected.

That's when we knew that the insect farming industry is not only constantly growing, but also hungry for innovation!

With less than 2 weeks left, make sure to follow BSFCON so you don't miss any updates 🪰

🐶🐱 From premium meat cuts to fancy supplements, the pet food sector is transforming.

But are traditional meats a good direction for the already high carbon industry?

We think insect-based pet food is the way to go👇

@QuyDavies @Amanwy @castellhowell @lesley4wrexham @NFUCymru Will be in touch before we organise the next one!

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

It was a pleasure to welcome farmers for the Better Origin Open Farm Day yesterday!

We gathered at Wern Farm in Wales, toured the X-series container, and had some productive conversations.

We're looking forward to hosting the next one!

While not all food can be grown locally, it's important that we prioritise home-grown produce whenever we can.

And we wrote about it over two years ago 👉 https://t.co/yd7SjleYyF (2/2)

Only 54% of the food eaten in UK is grown here. (1/2)

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

Each X-series container processes up to 300 tonnes of waste each year.

It's a win-win for the planet and the food companies that can convert their waste into sustainable feed. (3/3)

🗑 As we all know, food waste poses a serious challenge to our climate and food security.

But many food companies are not approaching it the right way 👇 (1/3)

[Better Origin @BetterOrigin]

Most food waste ends up in landfill, where it emits methane, or in anaerobic digesters (AD).

♻️ We not only address food waste, but we also ensure that it makes its way back into the food chain. (2/3)
