This illustrates a new study. For the study, the WWF compared alternatives made from wheat and soy to traditional fish fingers made from cod and Alaska pollock. In its life cycle analysis, the organization considered all processes from extraction of raw materials to trade, the organization said on Tuesday.
They say the environmental impact of fish fingers of animal origin per 100 grams of weight is 3.6 times greater than that of the plant-based variant. According to the report, the greatest environmental impacts occur in the production of fish fingers through fishing activities and diesel-powered ships.
Plant sticks also have an impact on the environment, for example when fertilizers pollute the water or pesticides are used. But taking into account all environmental factors such as water resources, energy resources, land use, global warming, air emissions, water pollutants, soil emissions and biotic resources, plant-based products would, on average, outperform the original fish sticks. , authors’ note.
According to the information obtained, the nutritional value was also taken into account. Because attempts are often made to devalue plant-based alternatives with supposedly lower nutritional values. In fact, according to the Rich Food Index 9.3, the nutritional values of fish fingers and plant-based alternatives are practically the same.
