Although the Veganz organic Snack Cocoa Bar does what it can for the environment with its vegan recipe and organic ingredients, the water usage is unfortunately immense: Ingredients like dates and cashews have a relatively high water footprint since they need quite a bit of the good stuff for their growth. The infrastructure at the cultivation areas is also not fully developed. In addition, the nuts have a fairly low yield. Although 3.3 kilos of cashews are watered, the result is just 1 kilo of shelled cashews.
What can we do better in the future? That’s a very good question. We could help directly on site or get the ingredients from a different place. But the fact is, no matter how we put whatever idea into action, the know-how from today flows into the products of tomorrow.
