This past Sunday was the International Day of Awareness for Food Loss and Waste, but our collective efforts to reduce waste and create a more sustainable global food system should carry on all year long. Why, you ask? Let's look at some of the numbers: 🌎 Food waste accounts for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of 3.3 billion tons of CO2 released into our atmosphere every year. 🥕 Nearly 45% of all fruits and vegetables produced globally are wasted. 🇺🇸 $165 billion worth of food is wasted annually in the United States alone. Learn more about what we can do at home, at work, and in the pet food industry to combat food waste and create a more sustainable global food system from Emilie Mesnier here ➡ https://lnkd.in/gmRnSmNB #FLWDay #FoodWaste #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #NothingIsImpossible #BSMPartners

Just as our pets need high-quality, complete-and-balanced diets to live and thrive, the microorganisms that inhabit their gastrointestinal (GI) tracts need "food" to survive, proliferate, and benefit the pet's overall gut health. These microbes feast on prebiotics to create a healthy and diverse bacterial population in the gut. When included in pet food at appropriate levels, prebiotics can lead to better digestion, stronger immunity, and improved overall health. But, there's a catch—not all prebiotics are created equal. Learn more about the nuances of formulating with prebiotics from Chuck Zumbaugh here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBBF6Xye #PetFood #PetNutrition #PetFoodIndustry #Biotics #Prebiotics #GutHealth #NothingIsImpossible #BSMPartners
