In the wake of the challenges the world is facing, eliminating animal cruelty from our food chain may seem like a low priority.

creating secondary markets, and waste becomes a raw material spurring new businesses that support
this process. This concept imitates nature, where everything has purpose and value; everything is used
and waste becomes a resource.
