1. Sustainability: Wild venison is harvested with minimal environmental impact compared to factory farming. Unlike intensive animal agriculture, which requires large amounts of feed, water, and energy, wild deer graze naturally. According to a report by the UK-based Soil Association, wild game harvesting generally has a lower carbon footprint than conventional farming methods.
    

2. Biodiversity: Sustainable deer management helps maintain ecological balance by controlling vegetation and supporting a diverse range of species. The UK’s Natural England reports that well-regulated hunting programs contribute to habitat management and biodiversity, unlike factory farming, which often leads to habitat destruction and monocultures.
    

3. Reduced Waste: Using wild venison minimizes waste compared to factory farming, where excess meat and by-products frequently end up in landfills. Venison from wild deer is typically used more efficiently, reducing overall waste and promoting sustainable resource use.
