Alltech’s Post

During World Pork Expo, which was held June 5-6 in Des Moines, Iowa, the Alltech Pork Team hosted the Business Seminar, 'Challenging health and productivity: How does the US lead the world in sustainable, profitable pork production?'. The seminar included leaders in the agriculture industry as they discussed the US pork industry's role in global trade, animal health and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/e_rSzSPy

FeedTechnoVision 2024 Insights According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, global meat consumption continues to rise. Ensuring that we consume nutritious, affordable and safe food is paramount. After all, we eat what our animals eat, so the chain starts with safe feed. Marcos Rostagno, Functional Products and R&D Director at Selko USA, sheds light on the critical topic of feed safety. During our event, he delved into the hazards posed by various feed contaminants and their potential impact on animal performance. Interested to see his presentation?

🐷🍟 From fast food to animal feed. What are the opportunities and conditions for unused waste streams? Recently the results of this project on safe processing of residual flows were shared at the final symposium. Until 2030, major steps will be taken towards circular agriculture in the Netherlands. Regulations have to be amended to be able to use (food) residual flows more often as animal feed. In order to set this change in motion, we must first know more about safety. Together with other Wageningen scientists and public private partners, we studied safe processing of residual flows which do not contain animal proteins and those which do contain animal proteins. Trade journal De Molenaar wrote this article about the project (in Dutch) ⤵️

Changing diets and transforming #foodpolicy holds massive #ClimateInfluence, folks. It's why it's a key focus area of my work, of the #LivingChange #podcast interviews I do (see my convos there with John Richards of KEXP and Sandeep Patel) - and why I'm excited to soon be advising NYC Food Policy team's Plant-Powered Carbon Challenge initiative. #PlantBased4Climate #foodsystem #leadership

Talash Huijbers, from Limuru, wondered why farmers are the poorest despite growing our food. In 2018, after earning a Food and Agribusiness degree, she founded Insectipro, using insects to revolutionize agriculture. They grow black soldier flies for animal feed and crickets for human consumption. Read her inspiring story at https://lnkd.in/dvxNEAMc #Top40Under40KE

🫘 Alternative proteins are crucial in feeding the growing population, ensuring our health, and eradicating hunger. With the environmental impact of animal farming, and a growing emphasis on ethical consumption, it’s no wonder there’s a global macro trend towards the production of alternative proteins. Hadar Sutovsky has put together a list of the top 10 alternative protein trends that are shaping our future! Read on to find out why #10 is our favorite 😊>> https://lnkd.in/d48zkAX9 Arkeon, Plantible Foods , and Protera are all mentioned.

Did you know that 80% of agricultural land is used to produce animal-based products, but they only provide 18% of total calories? Changing what we eat can have a bigger impact on land use than how much we eat.🌾🌱 By reducing our reliance on animal agriculture, we can free up land to grow crops directly for human consumption. Swipe to see how much land we could free up through food system transformation! Let us know in the comments if you’re as surprised as we are! Curious to find more data like this? Check out Food Systems Data! Food System Data is designed to deliver the most credible, up-to-date figures about the current food system and the necessary transition towards plant-rich diets, in a straightforward, uncomplicated way. 🌱 Access our data sheets based on the latest evidence to showcase the impact of diets on the environment, animals, and health here ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02H5j8Y0 #FoodSystemData #ProVeg #FoodSystems

Nutrient density extends to animals as well. What they eat matters. How they live and are treated matters. Their environment matters. The nutritional value of their meat (and eggs) can change in response. This has human health implications too. 🤝 We are excited to create a convening of organizations, farms and food brands focusing on the nutritional gains (and improved welfare) of raising animals more humanely and more regeneratively. #phytonutrients are a huge component of this. 📊 The data is out there. The conversations are being had. Time to change the system and structures currently in place. Who wants to be a part of this movement? Thanks to Understanding Ag, LLC - Experts in Regenerative Ag for hosting this discussion.

Today's topic: Lab-grown meat Category: Biotech Lab-grown meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is produced by cultivating animal cells in a controlled environment. Unlike traditional meat, which comes from slaughtered animals, lab-grown meat is developed from a small sample of animal cells, typically muscle cells. These cells are placed in a nutrient-rich culture medium that allows them to grow and multiply, eventually forming muscle tissue that can be harvested and consumed as meat. The benefits of lab-grown meat are significant: Environmental Impact: It requires fewer resources, such as land and water, and generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional meat production. Animal Welfare: It eliminates the need for raising and slaughtering animals, addressing ethical concerns associated with animal farming. Health: It offers the potential to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses and contamination, as the production process can be more controlled and sanitary.
