[027] THE WORLD’S MOST SUSTAINABLE PET FOOD – WITH TOM NEISH FROM YORA

Welcome back to Sustainable(ish)!
Today I’ve got an interview lined up for you with Tom Neish who is the founder and head honcho of Yora pet food, a new pet food brand that claim to be the world’s most sustainable pet food.
So what makes them so sustainable I hear you ask? 
Well I’m glad you asked. It’s because the food is made from insects!

The message seems to be slowly getting out that we should be reducing the amount of meat that we’re eating in our own diets, but I’d genuinely never really thought much about the amount of meat that our pets are eating. Many of the perium brand pet foods focus their marketing on the fact that their food is made using human grade food, and we’ve bought into the fact that this is a Good Thing. But hang on a minute, shouldn’t we be working on feeding the human grade food to the humans?

The first time I saw Yora I was fasincated (and I have to say slightly freaked out by the thought that it might be  a bag full of dried crickets or the like. It's not. It looks like regular dry dog food) by the concept, and I have to say that I absolutely love it, and the whole ethos behind the company.

Tuen in your ears, and listen in as I get the lowdown and hopefully all your questions answered from Tom.

Enjoy!
