Sustainable Steaks provides the most
scrumptious, environmentally sensi-
tive beef. Our steaks are sourced from
natural grasslands and prairies, where
livestock now fills the ecological roles left
vacant by the wild grazers that used to
roam these plains. Using our open-source
FoodFootprint supplementary feeding
system, we enhance natural grazing with
protein-rich fodder to optimize animal
growth while minimizing methane pro-
duction and water consumption. At only
$219.00/kg (including carbon taxes and
ecological levies), our steaks are affordable
for the whole family.
