Nevedi presented the Sustainable Animal Feed Monitor together with its chain partners. The Monitor was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN) and the chain parties involved. In the coming years, Nevedi will continue to monitor the progress in sustainability using this Monitor. “The Monitor provides transparent insight into the sustainability performance of the animal feed sector,” says Nevedi director Henk Flipsen.
“Animal feed plays a major role in the pursuit of sustainability in animal production chains,” says Nevedi director Henk Flipsen during the official presentation of the Sustainable Animal Feed Monitor. Feed is the largest cost item on a livestock farm and has the greatest impact on the ecological and economic sustainability of the farm. Safety for animals and humans always remains a priority.
