Less steak and more snake meat could be the most sustainable food of the future, at least that's what a new study by a group of scientists claims, because Snakes can be a flexible and effective alternative to traditional farm animalsBecause it's surprisingly sustainable. At the same time, they offer meat that is high in protein but low in saturated fat.
The researchers found that the snakes meet the demands of commercial farming surprisingly well, because they grow quickly – reaching maturity within three years – and are highly fertile, able to lay 100 eggs a year for two decades. Snake farming is a well-established practice in parts of Asia where snake farms have been established. these Farms produce less greenhouse gasesLike warm-blooded animals, there is the added advantage that they hardly consume water.
Researchers may consider snake meat to be a good alternative, but realistically, they are unlikely to farm snakes on a large scale in North America, Europe or Australia.
According to a study, snake meat could be the solution.'>
