Animal fats have a well-known negative impact on the climate; meanwhile, many plant-based alternatives currently on the market are made from canola, sunflower, coconut, and palm crops that contribute significantly to GHG emissions and fuel deforestation and biodiversity loss. Other methods, such as precision fermentation and cultivated fats …
