dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health (ANH) and Schothorst Feed Research today announced a strategic partnership to drive sustainability in animal nutrition and feed production.  

Through this collaboration, Schothorst Feed Research will leverage Sustell, the industry’s leading platform for measuring and improving the environmental impact of farming and food production, to support its customers. Schothorst Feed Research will use Sustell to answer sustainability-related questions and, where relevant, integrate into Schothorst’s own research trials to enable more precise environmental impact assessments and data-driven recommendations. 

Sustell is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that delivers ISO-certified life cycle assessment using farm-level data, along with what-if analysis to plan footprint reduction. This user-friendly approach empowers stakeholders from farm-to-fork to make data-driven decisions that promote a more sustainable future for food production. 

Hans Couwenberg, precision services and sustainability manager at dsm-firmenich, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Schothorst Feed Research and support their mission to deliver advanced sustainability insights to the feed industry. By integrating Sustell into their advisory and research activities, SFR will be able to help their customers navigate the challenges of feeding the global population within planetary boundaries and identify opportunities for significant environmental improvements.” 

Wim Beeks, Manager Sales & Consultancy at Schothorst Feed Research, said: “Using Sustell in our consultancy services and research trials provides valuable insights for our customers and enhances our ability to deliver practical, science-based sustainability solutions. This partnership enables us to offer robust environmental impact assessments and support the industry’s transition to more sustainable practices.”
