Are Mushrooms Sustainable?
In the United States, agriculture is responsible for 80% of all water consumed. The range of water needed to grow vegetables/fruit or raise animals for food varies tremendously. Did you know that it takes 1,847 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef - a relatively high water footprint! Whereas vegetables/fruits have a range with high water footprints such as avocado which takes 220 gallons of water, strawberries which takes 42 gallons of water, and lettuce which takes 15 gallons of water. But mushrooms have an incredibly low water footprint of 1.8 gallons per pound of mushrooms. This makes mushrooms a super sustainable choice!
Choosing ingredients based on their effects environmentally is just one of the many ways you can make a difference with climate change. If you are looking for some more recommendations then check out TMF's tips to reduce your carbon footprint.
