Morrisons unveils 'carbon-neutral' eggs

Morrisons introduces carbon neutral eggs as part of their sustainability drive to achieve net zero emissions from British farms by 2030. The initiative involves working with farms equipped with wind turbines and solar panels, and planting trees to enhance carbon storage. The hens are fed a sustainable diet free of soya, using locally grown grains and insects derived from waste, promoting a circular food economy.
