🌱 At Kemin Animal Nutrition & Health, EMENA, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and leading the way in sustainability. Our newest blog posts highlight the strategies and leadership driving meaningful progress: 1️⃣ Interview with João Marcelo de Castro Gomes: Meet João, President of Kemin Animal Nutrition & Health in EMENA, who shares his insights on reaching net zero by 2050. With over 25 years of experience, João discusses phased targets for 2030 and beyond, emphasizing innovation, life cycle assessments (LCAs), and clear communication to advance sustainability efforts. 2️⃣ Tackling Scope 3 Emissions: Scope 3 emissions—covering supplier operations, product transportation, and customer use—present both a challenge and an opportunity. Learn how we’re reducing these indirect emissions through sustainable sourcing, carbon footprint tools, and close collaboration with suppliers and customers. 📖 Explore our latest Sustainability Spotlight stories here: https://hubs.ly/Q034hdMc0 #Kemin #Sustainability #SustainabilitySpotlight #Scope3 #NetZero #EnvironmentalImpact

Ready for some disappointing news? According to the Sustainable Development Goals Index, only 16% of the SDGs are on track to be met. Many of the targets that are particularly off-track relate to food systems, biodiversity, and sustainable land use. Some goals show either insufficient progress or a REVERSAL. That's crazy. Yet, many think tanks think mostly about their image when shying away from collaborations with the private sector, despite the private sector having access to massive resources and unique accelerator networks. The world is way past the luxury of selectively picking our partners for optimal brand synergies. The good news is that Clim-Eat stands out as willing to uncover unconventional routes, leaving the blueprint behind for other players trying to enact meaningful change. On August 27th, Clim-Eat is bringing together world-leading experts to discuss how we can unlock private-sector innovation in three domains that have the potential to transform our food systems. One step at a time.

🎉 Congratulations to Multus for launching Proliferum® B - an animal component-free alternative to FBS! 🌟 Multus’ mission is to make cultivated meat affordable for everyone. 🚧 The problem: FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) is expensive, unreliable and unethical, while its replacements are costly and slow to develop, delaying the scale-up of cultivated meat. ✅ The solution: Multus’ Proliferum® B is an animal component-free replacement made for cultivated meat production across a range of cell lines. When compared to FBS, Proliferum® B has the potential to deliver: ✅ Faster Growth: Shorter doubling times for multiple cell types ✅ Consistent Results: Maintained performance over multiple passages ✅ More Sustainable Outcomes: An ethical, animal component-free alternative to FBS 🎊 It’s incredible to see Multus end the year with such a huge announcement. ✳️ Congratulations to the whole team! ⚡ We are incredibly proud to support you as you reach this significant milestone in helping accelerate cultivated meat’s journey from lab to market. ➡️ Click here to read more about how Multus is helping to create more sustainable food systems: https://www.multus.bio/ #GreenTech #BioTech #SustainableTech #ClimateChange

#Plantmolecularfarming gaining momentum with Moolec Science, the 1st company being approved in the US for its porcine myoglobin (not for commercialisation yet). “The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) determined that Moolec's genetically engineered soybean, accumulating animal meat protein, is unlikely to pose an increased plant pest risk relative to non-engineered soybeans”. ➡ This will enable Moolec to plant and transport its product “Piggy Sooy” soybeans without needing permits. ➡ Launched in 2021 as a spin-off of Bioceres Crop Solutions and based in Luxembourg. Moolec is also working on other animal protein as functional ingredients to improve flavour, color, texture and nutrition of meat alternatives. ➡ PMF has been recognised more affordable and an easily scalable option to cell cultivation or precision fermentation. This will accelerate advancements for other PMF companies, such as Alpine Bio (focussed on caseins), Miruku (dairy protein & fats), Forte Protein Inc. (lactoferrin, casein, collagen, albumen, etc.), Asterix Foods (glycoprotein), NewMoo (caseins), Mozza Foods (casein), PoLoPo (ovalbumin), VELOZBIO (egg and dairy proteins), Kyomei (animal protein), etc. #innovation #futureoffood #alternativeprotein

Thanks for sharing your insights Ivo Lansbergen ! I would add that besides “Sustainability is not a cost”! Sustainability is also not an option! It’s an imperative to all of us, that must be tackled together across the different players across the value chains, and a responsibility when we are industry leaders like we are! Technology, data and AI will certainly play its role and accelerate the process, but all of it starts with leadership, commitment and recognising the importance of it. And we do it, while we guarantee affordable and the best animal protein on everybody’s plate, an profitable business to animal farmers, and together with our customers and partners. Never at the cost of the planet! #sustainability #animalfarming #precisionservices

#Biosolutions such as #foodcultures or #enzymes offer vast opportunities to support the #transition from a fossil-based into a bio-based circular economy. However, such biosolutions are currently often confined within the limits of existing regulatory frameworks - which does not always fit biological solutions. By establishing a dynamic collaboration between academic institutions, policymakers and industries we further facilitate the development of biosolutions and pave the way for advancements that benefit everyone - consumers and our planet. 👉 Learn more about MICROORC and my colleague Veronique Zuliani, who is heading one of the work packages in this Horizon European Project that aims to orchestrate food system microbioms to minimize #foodwaste.

"Biosolutions can significantly boost shelf life and food safety, cutting down on food waste. With MICROORC, we aim to discover superior biosolutions that surpass those currently on the market," shares Veronique Zuliani, Director of the Applied R&D team at Novonesis. We had the pleasure of speaking with Véronique about her role and insights on the MICROORC project. She leads Work Package 3, focusing on selecting and assessing biosolutions to enhance food quality and safety. Her team’s work targets improving shelf life, reducing food waste, and combating harmful bacteria. Discover why Véronique believes MICROORC is a game-changer for the food industry and the potential impact it holds for the future 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d3hRx_t6 Nofima Faculdade de Ciências Humanas - Universidade Católica Portuguesa Oulu University of Applied Sciences VIZELPAS //Flexible Films bioMérieux Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO INNOVATION PLACE RISE Research Institutes of Sweden University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest Innoscentia Chr.

The second panel under Nutritious Future of Food was Upstream Innovation: Novel Feed Interventions for Protein Value Chains which was moderated by Burjis Godrej. The speakers in this panel were Dr. Dinesh Bhosale, Dr. Manojkumar Janardhan Aware, Praveen K, Shuvadip Banerjee and Saket Dave. This discussion focused on nutrition, health and sustainability-focused innovations in animal protein production. It shed light on promising feed and healthcare innovations improving animal health, farmer livelihoods and animal protein quality and nutritional value, what barriers these innovations are facing in commercializing at scale and how technical advancements and/or ecosystem support can enable them to become accessible at scale.
