NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 7 ect for Gold Standard certification. Gold Standard's Verified Emissions Reductions (VERs) can be traded in carbon markets, allowing credit purchasers to directly support the projects. These efforts can also be recognized in corporate value chains, whereby beef producers and food companies account for the reduction in supply chain GHG emissions, which contributes to their Scope t3 targets. “We know that the industry is looking for more accurate tools to measure methane reduction,” said Joanne Sharpe, Cargill’s global ruminant sustainability lead. “As producers look at their current levels of production efficiency and work toward sustainability goals, we are committed to finding ways to ensure they can be recognized and rewarded for their efforts. As part of our methane reduction priorities, this methodology is a key step toward opening new possibilities to reduce GHG emissions in the beef supply chain.” "Changing agricultural practice can help reduce methane emissions, and this new methodology provides beef producers with a way to reliably measure the impact of those changes,” said Margaret Kim, CEO of Gold Standard.

Through the utility of insects called Black Soldier Flies (BSF), Ento Industries upcycles food waste to produce a sustainable, high-quality protein product that can be incorporated into animal feed for a wide range of farm animals and pets. The process also generates insect frass which is processed into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer for use in gardening and crop farming. Supported by local food waste management company, Tiong Lam Supplies, Ento Industries was founded with a mission to resolve their society’s spiraling food-waste problem by expanding the number of food waste streams that can be upcycled and leveraging technologies to process the waste. According to the National Environmental Agency, food waste accounts for 12 percent of all waste generated in Singapore, and the 817,000 tonnes of food waste that was generated in 2021 was a 23 percent increase from 2020. “Our vision is to become the one-stop solution for all kinds of food waste and create a circular economy for our food manufacturing partners," said Nathaniel Phua, Founder and CEO of Ento Industries. With the new facility and proprietary automation system, we can address the growing demand for food waste processing and serve larger clients. The valorization of food waste into insect protein closes the loop on such waste types and addresses the need for more sustainable food sources, particularly for Singapore’s growing aquaculture industry.” Read more>> Ento Industries plans to move to larger facility with new funding
