Sustainability
Insects could be a powerful solution to some of the most pressing global food challenges. With the global population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, it’s clear that conventional protein sources are unsustainable. Black soldier fly is one of the most efficient protein sources available, offering a future-proof alternative to traditional livestock farming, which is responsible for around 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Black soldier fly, on the other hand, produces 95% fewer emissions, uses 94% less water, and requires 95% less land than beef to deliver the same amount of protein. Unlike many forms of agriculture, black soldier fly larvae can also be raised on organic waste, further lowering their environmental impact. The health benefits, proven palatability, and sustainable advantages made including black soldier fly in every Tuggs recipe an easy decision. We're not only reducing our carbon footprint — we're feeding Tuggs dogs exactly what they need to thrive.
