DSM talks reducing emissions from livestock: ‘We are helping industry improve its environmental credentials and image’
Meat and dairy industries are regularly criticised for the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their production.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), emissions from global livestock total 7.1 gigatonnes of CO₂-equivalent per year, with animal agriculture accounting for 14.5% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions.
Associations between industry’s high emission output and climate change is driving environmentalists to promote more plant-based diets. Greenpeace, for example, wants the European Commission to recognise the environmental impact of meat and dairy ‘overconsumption’.
Dutch multinational Royal DSM believes both the environmental footprint and image of animal protein can be ‘significantly improved’ by altering what livestock eat.
