Animal production counts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet rising demand on sustainability, animal production systems must balance productivity with resource use. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) helps evaluate environmental impacts and guides improvements. Innovations in nutrition and health are key. Adisseo’s SustainWay service supports producers in understanding and applying sustainability practices and LCA methods to reduce their environmental footprint.
Worldwide, sustainability is a growing concern, especially in animal production, as this sector contributes notably to greenhouse gas emissions.
The global demand for animal products continues to grow, that requests sustainable animal production to balance productivity with the responsible use of natural resources.
LCA methodology evaluates environmental footprint of feeding practices and identifies the main contributors that can be improved. Continuous improvement and transparency across the value chain will be key for a future success.
Animal production has a critical role to play in sustainability improvement. As global pressure asks to produce more with less, the role of innovative, science-based nutritional strategies becomes increasingly central to sustainable livestock systems. A part of the solution comes from animal nutrition and health by the following mechanisms:
Adisseo has developed SustainWay, a dedicated service for Sustainability. Based on 4 different steps, from basic to more advanced ones, it allows you to get familiar with and build your sustainability journey. This approach helps you understanding the specific terminology of the sustainability field and become familiar with the official methodology required to assess environmental impact (LCA). Mastering these fundamentals is a prerequisite for measuring then reducing the environmental footprint of animal production systems.
These LCA reports help both you and Adisseo, in the sustainable journey:
