Types of Sustainable and Ethical Animal and Seafood Products
-
Grass-fed:
Refers to animals such as cows, sheep, and goats that have been raised on a diet of grass and other forage rather than grains, which is believed to result in higher quality meat and dairy products.
-
Wild-caught, sustainable seafood:
Seafood that has been caught from the wild rather than being farmed, and which has been caught in a manner that is environmentally sustainable, meaning it does not harm the population of the species or the ecosystem it inhabits.
-
Free-range:
Refers to animals, usually poultry such as chickens, that have been allowed to roam freely outdoors rather than being confined to a small space. This term can also refer to other animals that are allowed access to the outdoors, such as cows or pigs.
