Sustainable Agriculture in the Kaz Mountains

The Kaz Mountains have the second-highest oxygen content in the world. In addition to vast forested areas, they are also home to rich agricultural lands.

Leila practices sustainable agriculture in the Kaz Mountains, a region known for its high density of endemic plant diversity, and sources her products either from her own gardens or from local producers.

The Ecological Benefits of Plant-Based Proteins

Consuming more plant-based protein not only nourishes your body, but it can also help regenerate the planet!

Plant-based proteins are naturally lactose-free, making them suitable for people who are sensitive or allergic to dairy. They are also generally easier on the digestive system and less likely to cause allergies.

With pea and rice proteins, it is possible to create a complete amino acid profile similar to that of whey protein.

CARBON EMISSIONS

A study conducted in 2019 found that switching to a plant-based diet reduced personal greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.

During the transition to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, emissions decreased by 35%.

WATER CONSUMPTION

Water consumption is another important area where plant-based proteins outperform animal-based proteins.

According to data from the Water Footprint Network, an advocacy group dedicated to solving the global water crisis, animal protein sources such as beef, poultry, and pork consume significantly more water than plant-based proteins like legumes, nuts, and grains.

United Nation SUPPORTED

Even if you don’t choose to consume only plant-based proteins, consider making small changes to support the health of our planet.

The environmental impact of reducing meat consumption is so significant that in its 2019 climate report, the United Nations called for a global reduction in animal protein consumption.
