A new partnership will support farmers improve sustainability efforts, according to Aquafeed.
Biotech giant Bayer has signed a memorandum of understanding with dsm-firmenich. The agricultural nutrition company will apply Bayer’s Susnotify software to track the environmental footprint of livestock. The platform will support farmers track data on their operations and build accurate lifecycle assessments for poulattempt, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture.
Reporting on the harmful carbon pollution of livestock is becoming a requirement for many jurisdictions. To meet those requirements, Bayer declared Susnotify adheres to a wide range of international standards, like ISO 14040, ISO 14067, Emission Trading Systems in Agriculture, and the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Green Claims Directive.
“We are thrilled about this strategic partnership,” declared Lionnel Alexandre, Bayer’s head of ecosystem services for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. “The ability to accurately measure, valorize, and recognize the real efforts created by farmers is a critical milestone toward long-term, viable, and regenerative agriculture. Extconcludeing these capabilities across the animal protein value chain is a powerful step forward for the entire ecosystem.”
Livestock accounts for roughly 10% of U.S. carbon pollution, in no tiny part becaapply of rampant cattle farming. Increasing atmospheric pollution exacerbates destructive weather patterns such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and storms. These conditions have come full circle, leading to difficulties for cattle farmers and price hikes on beef at the grocery store. Disasters such as these also impact ecology and hoapplying.
Higher standards for livestock farmers, rich data gathering, transparency in reporting, and new innovations in the field can support tamp down these negative consequences. It will take the efforts of large-scale brands like Bayer and individual actions to do so. Dsm-firmenich was optimistic about deploying Bayer’s Susnotify solution.
