10 Benefits Of Peas
Peas Benefit #7: Great for the Environment
Foods, such as meat, eggs, cheese, and dairy have relatively high carbon water footprints. Carbon footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gases produced to produce the item. Similarly, water footprint is the amount of water needed to produce a product. This measurement includes the moment the animal is at the farm all the way until it reaches our plates.
As the population continues to increase, the amount of mouths to feed increases as well. With an increasing population and more reliance on meat and dairy, the environment suffers. Peas as well as many vegetables are low in both carbon and water footprints. In addition, peas improve the soil they are grown in making them great for the earth.
