This additive was also trialled by Teagasc in January this year. So much time, effort and expense put into keeping a largely cruel and unsustainable industry going. If we just reduced consumption a small bit, reduced the number of dairy cows and encouraged regenerative farming systems we could tackle climate change without messing with nature. Our policy makers could lead this change, rather than allowing themselves to be influenced by climate change denying farming lobby groups.

Christmas is a season known for feasting and indulgence, despite our annual resolutions to keep things in check.
During this festive time, a significant amount of animal products is consumed.
To make a change, consider replacing some of those meat dishes with vegetarian or vegan alternatives. Supermarkets offer a variety of excellent options, and there are fantastic recipes available online.
Aim to choose free-range or organic products. If your local supermarket doesn't carry them, explore nearby farmers' markets or local shops. There are also numerous online options for free-range and organic items, with many farms providing delivery services. Give it a google!
