Sustainability in the animal feed industry is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. As environmental regulations tighten and consumer demand for sustainable food products grows, businesses throughout the animal protein supply chain are under increasing pressure to measure and reduce their environmental impact. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Why LCA Matters for Animal Feed
Animal feed production is a major contributor to the environmental footprint of animal protein. It impacts multiple sustainability factors, including:
- Greenhouse gas emissions – Feed production and land use changes contribute significantly to emissions.
- Land and water use – Large amounts of land and water are required for growing feed crops.
- Nutrient pollution – Excessive fertilizer use can lead to runoff and water pollution.
LCA provides a structured, science-based methodology to assess these impacts across the entire lifecycle of feed production—from raw material sourcing to processing, transportation, and eventual use in animal nutrition. With these insights, feed producers and livestock companies can make data-driven decisions to lower their footprint, optimize formulations, and meet sustainability goals.
