It is well-known that the world is heading towards a world-wide food shortage. In the next 30 years, food supply and food security will be severely threatened if little or no action is taken to address climate change and the food system’s vulnerability to climate change.1,2
Negative effects of climate change include the continued rise of global temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, an increased frequency of droughts and heatwaves, sea-level rise, melting of sea ice and a higher risk of more intense natural disasters.1,2
One of the most prominent food sources that are predicted to be depleted significantly are those sourced from wild-caught fish. A rapidly growing global population, in combination with climate change and environmental shifts, is putting immense strain on our wild fisheries.1,2
Alternative plant-based sources, such as algal oils, are therefore a top priority for many environmentally conscious consumers. Consumers who are thinking of sustainable solutions, will naturally want to experience omega-3 health benefits, without the impact on marine resources and biodiversity.3-5
The algal oil used in Vegan Essentials is sourced from fermented non-genetically modified (non-GMO) algae (Schizochytrium spp). The algae are grown in a controlled environment to provide a clean algal oil that is rich in the active omega-3s, EPA and DHA, as well as being free from environmental and marine contaminants.3-5
Not only does our algal oil provide a vegan alternative to fish oil, but it also provides a sustainable source of omega-3s that has zero impact on the marine ecosystem and reduces our impact on the global environment. The omega-3s from this source are also low in heavy metals and environmental contaminants, low in odour so there is no fishy aftertaste, low in excipients and low in allergens. At Whole Earth & Sea® _we are happy to offer an effective daily dose of vegan omega-3s in our own Vegan Essentials.3-5
