ISSUE FOCUS 32 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2024 “The work in China and the US is part of a wider global program of investment in sustainability and targeting emissions reduction in ruminants. Alongside the work undertaken with research and Government organisations, Cargill has also invested in GreenFeed systems in the US, China, Korea, and Europe to enable promising new solutions to be trialled in commercial settings across different livestock production systems around the world.” At Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health, we know that our customers are facing increasing complexities as they balance animal health and welfare with performance and business economics, while reducing the environmental impact of their operations. From our seat at the center of the global food system, we are uniquely positioned to enable connections that incentivize all parts of the system to work together toward meaningful sustainability outcomes. We are deeply committed to a sustainable future where animal agriculture is the cornerstone of safe, nutritious, and affordable food production while respecting our planet, caring for animals, and supporting farmers. To us, sustainability is not just an aspiration or an idea; it is a steadfast commitment that permeates every aspect of our business. Methane emission has increasingly come under public scrutiny in recent years, and it is estimated that livestock contributes to 14.5% of human-caused greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions globally. Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health’s approach to methane emissions reduction, Reach4Reduction™, works with farmers around the globe to support their sustainability journey. We know that no single solution can enable meaningful sustainability outcomes alone. That’s why we look at the customer’s full context, strategically supporting them to increase productivity while reducing their environmental footprint with a broad range of sustainability solutions - from nutrition to farm management to digital tools. INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE Innovation is a key pillar to our methane reduction approach and vital to fuelling the industry’s ability to successfully achieve sustainability goals. In addition to our global in-house R&D capabilities, we also collaborate externally to accelerate research and bring novel solutions to customers.
