The value of feed ingredient life cycle analysis
Life cycle assessment (LCA), or life cycle analysis, gauges the environmental impact associated with all stages of a commercial products. These metrics will grow increasingly valuable as animal protein producers look to reduce their footprint and look to animal feed formulations to help them do so.
Pierre-Joseph Paoli, president of feed additives and ingredients within ADM Animal Nutrition shares his views on how ingredient and additive life cycle assessments help determine, improve feed sustainability in an interview with the editor of Feed Strategy from WATT.
Paoli highlights a difference when it comes to life cycle analysis of feed additives:”What is a little bit different about feed additives versus some other products is that while, of course, we look at scope one and scope two, the scope three, which is the emissions afterwards in the value chain, tend to be negative with the feed additives. And that is very interesting, because it means there’s a return on environmental investment, if you will, for those kinds of products.”
Pierre-Joseph Paoli will also present his talk, “How feed ingredient analysis supports a more sustainable value chain,” at the 2022 VIV LIVE Feed Congress on May 30 at 1.45-2.15 PM.
