Wyke Farms has created the world’s first carbon-neutral cheese.
The cheese, which is a cheddar variety, is produced using a unique process that captures and stores carbon emissions created during the cheese-making process. This process includes using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to power the production facility. Additionally, the company plants trees and other vegetation to absorb the remaining carbon emissions, effectively neutralizing the carbon footprint of the cheese.
The company is also taking extra steps to ensure that the cheese is sustainable, such as using grass-fed cows for the milk, reducing water consumption, and recycling waste. This development is significant as it suggests that it is possible for food production to be sustainable and environmentally friendly.
