🌍 Sustainability is no longer optional—it's essential. As animal protein remains a key part of global diets, the pressure to adapt is increasing. At dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, we see data as a powerful tool for driving sustainable practices. Addressing Scope 3 emissions across the supply chain requires collaboration. By sharing insights instead of sensitive data, we can build partnerships that enhance sustainability while protecting our competitive edge. Want to dive deeper?

This article does a great job in summarizing the general interpretation of the “protein transition”. Our three main reasons for transition are: - Reducing the environmental impacts of protein production and consumption - Providing healthy diets for a growing population - Preventing the ethical problem of animal welfare in industrial livestock production systems   These are being addressed through changes by: - Shifts in dietary habits from animal proteins to alternative protein sources - Developing alternative proteins for food and feed through research, development, technology and infrastructure - Reconfiguring the whole-food protein through change by consumers, lobbies, retailers and  governments https://lnkd.in/dehCQcXb #alternativeprotein #protein #sustainablefood

Protein transition has been a prevailing conservation in food systems in this present times. Here is a simple breakdown of what is about. Protein transition refers to shifting from an animal protein-dominated diet to a plant protein-dominated one. This change is driven by the inefficiencies in current animal protein production, such as its large environmental footprint, poor animal welfare, and health risks linked to excessive processed meat consumption. The conversation mainly applies to developed countries, where animal protein dominates the diet. Over a decade ago, experts recommended reducing animal protein consumption by a third in many Western nations, as intake levels were 150% above the recommended amount for health and sustainability. Coming from Nigeria, this was not a common discussion. Instead, the focus was on increasing animal protein intake to ensure adequate nutrition was the topic. This highlights the importance of context and nuance in global food systems. #proteintransition #sustainability #foodsystemstuesday

Exploring Alternative Raw Materials in Animal Feed! Luc Levrouw, Manager Business Development Performance Solutions at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, Benelux, discusses the future of animal feed as we face growing global population pressures and limited arable land. Current Challenge: Using edible feedstuffs that compete with human food supplies. Future Solutions: • Shifting to non-edible feedstuffs rich in fiber • Enhancing fiber digestibility with enzymes • Tackling anti-nutritional factors and mycotoxins • Establishing reliable feed values using advanced techniques like NIR • More focus on circularity and sustainability is key!
