“We’re not preaching a totally plant-based diet – far from it,” Eve clarifies. “We feature meat on our menus very proudly. However, we ensure our sourcing is done carefully and that the right farms and farmers are supported.”
Eve explains what they look for in sourcing better meat, noting that regenerative methods like rotational grazing and livestock integration allow farmers to maintain the fertility of the soil. “This contrasts in many ways with industrial meat production, which is synonymous with soil depletion and irreversible damage to the ecosystem.” Another strong benefit is topsoil preservation. “The top six inches of soil famously plays a key role in future agricultural productivity and, therefore, the future of our food. This is why it’s important to support the right individuals, working together towards fixing a broken food system and securing its future.”
