Why Game Meat? More than meats the eye!
Game meat is more than just a culinary choice—it’s a sustainable, healthy, and environmentally responsible option that connects people with nature and promotes wildlife conservation. Here are some key reasons why game meat is a great addition to your diet:
Health Benefits
Lean and Nutrient-Rich: Game meat, such as venison, wild boar, and pheasant, is typically leaner than farm-raised meats, containing lower levels of fat and cholesterol. It’s also packed with essential nutrients like protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a healthy choice for those who care about their nutrition.
High in Vitamins and Minerals: Game meat is rich in vitamins like B12, B6, and niacin, as well as minerals such as zinc, iron, and selenium, all of which are important for maintaining overall health and energy levels.
Sustainability & Conservation
Why Sustainability Matters
Sustainability is at the heart of Game Meat Week. By promoting the consumption of game meat, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how sustainable hunting supports ecosystems, wildlife management, and a responsible food system. Game meat represents a natural and sustainable food source that is aligned with conservation practices.
