Same chicken. Big difference.
Each delicious Do Good Chicken stops approximately 4 lbs of surplus groceries from being thrown away, thus reducing approximately 3 lbs of greenhouse gases (CO₂e).
You get chicken you’ll feel good about.
Why wouldn’t you buy all-natural, climate-change-fighting chicken? It’s a way to make a difference, without you needing to change a thing.
We stop good food from being thrown away.
Who thinks burying good food in a landfill and making our climate problem worse is a good idea? Not us. And our guess is — not you either.
The world gets less greenhouse gas.
We add nutritious surplus grocery food to a chicken's diet. This reduces food waste and makes our chickens carbon-reduced to combat climate change.
Wasting food should not be the norm.
In 2019, an enormous 35% of all food in the United States went unsold or uneaten. That’s $408 billion worth of food – roughly 2% of U.S. GDP – with a greenhouse gas footprint equivalent to 4% of total U.S. GHG emissions.
The EPA has a goal to cut our nation’s food waste by 50 percent by 2030. And their food hierarchy is right in line with our system.
After donating to feed people, the next best use of unsold food is feeding animals. But most major facilities skip this step altogether.

How does ending food waste actually reduce carbon emissions?
Typically, 40 percent of food is thrown away. We can drastically reduce that number by taking surplus food to our facility rather than the landfill. That food is converted into feed for chickens. And this closed-loop system reduces the amount of carbon associated with raising chickens.

When you eat Do Good Chicken,
you reduce your carbon footprint
Surplus grocery food doesn't sit in a landfill and emit methane.
Food in landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas 26 times more potent than CO2, accelerating climate change. Our solution saves food from going to landfills and instead converts it into nutrient-dense chicken feed.
We reduce the need to grow even more food to make more food.
Chickens have to eat. But making chicken feed for billions of birds takes an enormous amount of work, water, fertilizer, and land. It also makes a massive carbon impact. Why throw away all that effort and all those resources? Our solution utilizes food that already exists to reduce the amount of additional food we need to grow.
