Sustainability Resources from Industry Associations

dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) seeks opportunities to support and advocate for animal agriculture and its improving sustainability. To that end, we actively participate in collaborative industry organizations like the American Feed Industry Association and its sustainability committee, the US Roundtable for Sustainable Poultry & Eggs, the US Dairy Sustainability Alliance, the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, and the Institute for Feed Educations & Research (IFEEDER). 

Feed is a critical factor in the sustainability of animal proteins. However, the large and diverse set of companies that make animal (including pet) food are at different places on the journey to greater sustainability. With that consideration in mind, with input from ANH and other member organizations, IFEEDER has created a resource for any company, whether they are just starting to “crawl, walk or run” on organizational initiatives related to sustainability. IFEEDER’s Sustainability Toolkit is available to all AFIA and IFEEDER members at no charge, and to non-members for a nominal fee. The toolkit can help people in diverse roles at a company develop and implement priorities and plans to advance their sustainability performance.

    Farmers and others involved in North American animal agriculture sometimes wonder what is driving the increased focus on sustainability. Sustainability has multiple different dimensions, and environmental sustainability is among the most prominent, particularly climate change. A significant driver of increasing attention to animal agriculture’s carbon footprint are public commitments by food and agriculture companies to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the greenhouse gas emissions of the products they make and sell. These commitments are often phrased as Net Zero or Carbon Neutral, among other terms.
