Sustainable Impact and Environment
From a sustainability standpoint, grass-fed beef tallow is tops. A lot of the traditional cooking oils (soybean, corn, canola oil) come from crops that are highly monoculture-dependent. These practices drive down soil health, use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and often result in deforestation and loss of biodiversity.

Pasture raised methods of farming improve soil quality, carbon collection and the environmental footprint versus grain-fed or industrial livestock operations. Using the whole animal even—in fact, especially- fat ensures that no part of the animal is wasted, too, fitting in to the zero-waste principles of ethical meat.
