Hot Roo's Kangaroo Jerky
Snacks!
The range includes two
varieties of Kangaroo Jerky
that have been made
sustainably in a way that
supports the environment.
The company explains that
Kangaroo meat production uses
less water than other types of
animal meat production and that
the snacks are both healthy and
low carbon footprint.
Compared to other animals,
such as dry beef cattle and
adult sheep, Kangaroos need
around 91 litres to produce
one kilo of meat.
In comparison, dry beef cattle
require 300 litres of water to
produce one kilo of meat, and
adult sheep need 11 litres a
day.
Globally, meat production is
one of the biggest contributors
to carbon emissions, but
Kangaroo meat is a more
sustainable red meat
alternative.
The company says kangaroo
meat produces around 0.003
tonnes of CO2 per year,
compared to cattle which
produce 1.67 tonnes, and
sheep which produce 0.14
tonne.
Unlike other animals,
kangaroos also produce less
methane gas, a substance
that contributes to
greenhouse gas emissions.
Per year, one kangaroo will
produce around 6.5 litres of
greenhouse gasses, compared
to cattle who produce between
250 and 500 litres per day.
They pride themselves on
making Australia's best low fat
and sustainable Kangaroo Jerky
snacks and are helping to
provide more environmentally
conscious snack choices.
