Are you still serving beef on your nursery menu? Many of us have stopped now so if you haven't perhaps consider it. Livestock farming has a vast environmental footprint. It contributes to land and water degradation, biodiversity loss, acid rain, coral reef degeneration and deforestation. Nowhere is this impact more apparent than climate change – livestock farming contributes 18% of human produced greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. other experiences of your sustainable menu changes would be gratefully heard.... x
As a very rural setting in Devon and Somerset we buy our meat (beef included) from farms within 5 miles of the nursery, this provides jobs for our farmers (about 40% of my parents) and stops us using food which has had to travel miles......
Beef will continue to be on our menu! Lots of other foods have a vast environmental impact especially those shipped from the other side of the world.
Plenty of farms that are sustainable in UK including this one in Sussex. youtu.be/mP3-TsRRSys

Genuine question- does the waste not produce the same co2 in the compost in the garden as rotting in landfill? Or is it that it’s reused in the garden?
