We want everyone to have access to nutrient dense and pesticide free food so we’ve created a product for every situation.

Food & Diet

"When your diet is wrong, medicine is often of no use, when your diet is correct, medicine is often of no need"

HG Revolution?is committed to the aggregation of highly efficient manufacturing systems and manufacturing of cultivation units. Our members are of all of the same mindset, we are all working towards a self sufficient community which provides sufficient nutrient dense, pesticide free food for all.

Presently it is predicted that by 2050, the predicted population will increase to 9 billion. Within the next 5 – 10 years, food shortages will affect many more people word-wide

A diet rich in nutrient dense foods can lower risk for chronic diseases, reduce risk for obesity and improve nutritional status. Vitamins and minerals have many important functions in the body, healthcare professionals agree that absorption of nutrients from food is best. Phytochemicals are a broad category of compounds in plants that can have positive health benefits like preventing the formation of cancer cells. Nutrient dense foods are an excellent source of phytochemicals

Health benefits of eating nutrient dense foods

The health benefits of eating nutrient dense foods are that it can help lower risk for many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, obesity and possibly others. They can also help with weight loss, as a diet high in nutrient dense foods means your overall calorie intake will naturally be low. Research confirms that populations with nutrient dense diets benefit from a significantly longer than average life expectancy and low occurrence of chronic diseases. Their diet is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in processed meat.

Children

Nutrient dense foods are high in nutrients but comparatively low in calories. They contain almost all kinds of vital minerals, vitamins, lean proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats etc which are needed by your child for the proper growth and development of their body.

Elderly

The best foods for any age are those that are nutrient-dense, especially important in age related healthcare, vitamin and mineral content without a lot of calories, nutrient-dense food for the elderly is crucial in reducing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, cardiovascular health and more.

Education & Training

STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics) nutrition awareness and education programmes go hand in hand with HG – School initiatives and visits ensure that children can see what can be.

Environment

It is a scientific fact that progression to a more plant-based diet alone will reverse and completely resolve all of the world’s major environmental & ecological issues and many more times faster than all of the proposed or actual initiatives put together. Climate change, global warming, extreme weather, air and water pollution and biodiversity issues can all be resolved soonest by dietary change. How crazy does that sound? But it’s absolutely true!

Eating a plant-based diet is not just good for our health; it is good for Earth’s health.?In fact, “Shifting away from animal-based foods [could not only] add up to 49% to the global food supply without expanding croplands;” but would also significantly reduce carbon emissions and waste byproducts that end up in our oceans and as seafood byproducts (Jalava et al, 2014).

In today's agricultural system, we grow plants to feed animals, which requires enormous resources and inputs: land, water, fossil fuels, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer to grow. We then feed plants to animals and care for them over their lifetime, while they produce methane and manure.

Adopting more plant-based diets for ourselves reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the food system by more than half. A mainly plant-based diet could also reduce other environmental impacts, such as those from fertilizers, and save up to quarter use of both farmland and fresh water

If each and every person in the United States gave up meat and dairy products on one or more days of the week; ideally, all days of the week, we would save the environment from thousands of tons of carbon emissions.?In fact, in one year, animal husbandry creates as much carbon emissions as the entire transportation sector.

Similarly, by reducing our animal-based foods consumption, we would reduce our water use at least by half as animal husbandry utilizes more than 50% of fresh water.

These reductions would reduce the direct and indirect threats to Earth’s health and habitability for us, and for all wildlife, flora, and fauna.

Greenpeace state that "Industrial meat is the?single biggest cause of deforestation?globally. In Brazil, farmers are deliberately setting forest fires – like the?Amazon rain-forest fires?you may have seen in the news – to clear space for cattle ranching and to grow industrial animal feed, like?soya, for farms back in the UK. Trees in the Amazon rain-forest?produce their own rainfall, which keeps the whole forest alive and healthy. If deforestation (for things like industrial meat) continues at the current rate, the Amazon could reach a ‘tipping point’, where it can no longer sustain itself as a rain forest.

This would have a devastating impact on the people and animals who live in, or depend on, the forest directly. It could also lead to less rainfall, affecting drinking water and irrigation across large parts of South America; and changes to climate patterns in other parts of the world too.

The climate impact of meat is enormous – roughly equivalent to all the driving and flying of?every car, truck and plane in the world.When forests are destroyed to produce industrial meat, billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere, accelerating?global warming. The fallen trees are often left to rot on the forest floor or are burned, creating further emissions. Healthy trees are essential for absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. If we cut them down, they can no longer help us in the fight against climate change.

By clearing forests, destroying habitats and?using toxic pesticides?to grow animal food, the industrial meat industry is contributing to the extinction of thousands of species, many of which haven’t even been discovered yet. We depend on a healthy environment for our own survival. The huge abundance and variety of the natural world (sometimes called biodiversity) is essential for food, clean water and medicines. The rapid loss of biodiversity, largely driven by industrial farming, could be?as big a threat to our existence as climate change.

Destroying forests and other wild areas for animal agriculture is a?major cause of new infectious diseases. Three quarters of new diseases affecting humans?come from animals. Cutting down and burning forests brings wildlife into closer contact with people,?enabling deadly viruses to pass from animals to humans. The more forest that is destroyed, the greater the risk of a new pandemic. But that’s not the only disease risk from industrial meat. Factory farms can also?increase the spread of disease, both between animals and from animals to humans. The risk is higher for industrial meat farms because huge numbers of animals are crammed into small spaces, and the animals themselves have weaker immune systems. This means that viruses can develop more rapidly and have the potential to pass to humans."

Commercial & social impact

Financially, this venture is highly profitable, more importantly is the positive social impact promoted, the creation of wealth, accompanied by jobs and expertise, a healthier, better standard of living and an opportunity to solve the inevitability of global wide food shortages, food poverty and famine.
