The “Why” Behind Algae
At 3.5 billion years old, algae is earth’s oldest and arguably most vital inhabitant. It is a source of unparalleled nourishment: 1 gram of algae = the nutritional density of 1 kilogram of fruits & vegetables. It also has a remarkable environmental impact: algae produces 50% of the world's oxygen + can grow more abundantly than traditional land crops with minimal resources. Algae is the carbon negative future of "food is medicine" and a staple in all of our GEM bites.
The Power of Plant-Based
If we’ve learned anything from algae, it’s that plants can nourish both our bodies and the planet. Animal products use vastly more finite resources, such as land, water, and feed, and emit harmful greenhouse gases. By taking a plant-forward approach, we’re minimizing our impact while also nourishing ourselves with antioxidants, phytonutrients, and other supernutrients that plants provide.
Sustainable Practices
Agricultural methods vary when it comes to their environmental impact. Modern-day practices have become highly industrialized, relying on the use of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and antibiotics. What once began as a symbiotic partnership with the land has resulted in depleted ecosystems. GEM pledges to support eco-friendly practices by sourcing organic whenever possible and purchasing from sustainable farms.
