DSM-Firmenich and Sustained are collaborating to capture animal protein life cycle assessment impacts at the farm level, making it easier for food makers to assess and communicate the environmental footprint of their products.
Leveraging Foundation Earth’s data-driven ecolabels, the Dutch multi-national says its ISO-accredited sustainability service will offer animal protein producers an easy way to convey the value of their sustainability efforts to consumers.
Researchers in Europe have found fault with life cycle assessment methodology’s analysis of organic farming, which they say largely ignore major factors such as biodiversity, soil quality, and pesticide impacts.
