In Scotland, the number of wild deer has doubled since 1990 and now totals around one million. To control the deer population, hunting is conducted every year, and the venison obtained in this process is considered environmentally friendly.
Experts say wild venison requires fewer resources compared to beef or pork and does not damage the land. If hunters do not travel long distances, venison causes minimal environmental impact.
Studies show that wild venison is more eco-friendly than beef, but slightly less so than chicken or pork. Also, if the methane produced by deer is not counted, it can be seen as a sustainable food source.
Therefore, wild venison is recommended as an ecological and sustainable food in Scotland and similar regions, but globally this option is limited.
