Sustainable proteins

Animal and plant-based proteins

Healthy, diverse & sustainable proteins

Protein is essential to balanced diets, but while many people consume too much on a daily basis,? environmental scientists are recommending a shift to diets with larger proportions of plant-based proteins. Still, we know that animal proteins are expected to remain an important part of people’s diets, playing a central role in our lives and cultures; and livestock also provides a living for millions of farmers and communities around the world.

DSM wants to support all forms of proteins produced with the highest sustainable standards. Based on expertise in human and animal nutrition, as well as environmental science, we enable and produce sustainable proteins: from plant-based proteins to meat, eggs and fish. For all forms, we are tirelessly working on combating the key challenges such as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, limiting nitrogen and phosphorous emissions, while keeping the highest nutritious standards and ensuring good livelihoods.?

Animal & Human Nutrition

At DSM, we address these different challenges with our products and innovations for human and animal nutrition.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

With livestock and fish production contributing to 14.5% of our world’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, it’s essential that we take action now – especially when you consider that the world will demand an additional 40 million tons of meat and 25 million tons of fish each day by 2026. Reducing GHGs – and especially methane emissions – is an urgent priority for the world. At DSM, our bright science is helping to reduce methane emissions in cows by up to 30% with our Project Clean Cow.

Protecting marine life and providing for omega-3s

Salmon is an excellent source of protein, as well as omega-3 EPA and DHA that help keep the heart healthy. Currently, 76% of the worlds’ fisheries are either depleted or exploited. DSM and Evonik produce algal omega-3 EPA and DHA oil with natural marine algae. This reduces the dependency of finite wild catch resources and supports sustainable aquaculture.

Reducing nitrogen emissions

Another focus for sustainability standards in animal proteins is reducing the nitrogen emissions. The?RONOZYME? ProAct feed ingredient?does exactly that, whilst improving feed efficiency in birds.

Fighting anti-microbial resistance

Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) poses a major health threat. Livestock is one of the contributors due to misuse and overuse of antibiotics in animal feed. DSM’s eubiotics support a healthy animal and can help to minimize the sub-therapeutic use of antibiotics for growth promotion, thereby reducing the spread of AMR. The result: better animal welfare, and higher food security at more affordable prices for all.

Helping farmers

We support farmers every day with insights and advice on animal health, food safety and environmental management. For example, the DSM ‘business-to-farm’ project in China helps small-scale farmers with training and general support, thus enabling them to increase the safety and quality of the food they produce, while reducing its environmental impact and supporting farmer livelihoods.

Great-tasting plant-based foods

People are increasingly on the lookout for healthier food…but taste remains the decisive factor. DSM helps to create an enjoyable taste experience with our?ModuMax??taste modulator. Manufacturers can add this to their foods that are low in sugar, salt or saturated fat; or have additional fibers or plant proteins, whilst keeping a delicious taste, flavor and mouthfeel.

The result is that people everywhere can enjoy great tasting, healthy foods and beverages – in everything from savory foods and dairy, to fast-growing markets such as sports protein drinks, meal replacement shakes, and alternative plant-based milk. A true taste of where flavor innovation is heading.

Advocating

We work with a broad and diverse range of organizations across the world to shape and influence the nutrition agenda. We do so in different coalitions and partnerships addressing the different forms of malnutrition, as well as shifting the food system to healthy and sustainable production and consumption. This includes our long-standing partnership with the UN World Food Programme (WFP), which is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

FReSH ideas on food

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) programme, Food Reform for Sustainability and Health (FReSH), aims to drive sustainable and future-proof food systems, advocate the necessary dietary switches to improve peoples’ health within planetary boundaries, and understand and influence consumer behavior. We work in close cooperation with the EAT Foundation and the WBCSD partners - such as Danone, Unilever, Nestlé, Evonik, Cargill, Buhler Group and Kellogg - all while developing and promoting business solutions. We are an active member of the Leadership Committee and of various workstreams, such as ‘Proteins’, ‘Positive Nutrition’, ‘Food Loss and Waste’ and ‘True Cost of Food’.

Partners in Food Solutions

We’re a founding member of this multi-sector partnership, which also includes General Mills, Cargill, The Hershey Company, Bühler and Ardent Mills. Partners in Food Solutions serves more than 600 small and growing food companies throughout Africa, strengthening food security, improving nutrition and increasing economic development by making the food processing sector more competitive.

Sun Business Network

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Business Network recruits and supports companies who pledge to contribute to the improvement of global nutrition. We help with the Network’s recruitment and management of around 186 companies.

Sight and Life

Sight and Life is a humanitarian nutrition think tank aimed at eliminating all forms of malnutrition in children and women of childbearing age - thus improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people. We work with the organization by exchanging, co-creating and advocating new scientific insights to help those who need it most.

TIFN

TiFN is a Netherlands-based public-private organization that pursues fundamental research in food and nutrition. Natural economic social and consumer sciences work closely together. TiFN has a strong focus on pre-competitive, long-term, strategic research. DSM collaborates with TiFN in different fields, some of which are nutrition and health, sustainable protein processing, sensory and structure.

UNICEF

We work with UNICEF to deliver better nutrition to at-risk children and mothers in Nigeria. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goal number two (ending hunger), our partnership focuses on nourishing mothers and children during the crucial first 1,000 days of children’s lives, from conception until age two. Another goal is to spur similar action in other countries where malnutrition is rife, as well as advocating best practices in micronutrient supplementation worldwide.?

Vitamin Angels

Vitamin Angels is dedicated to reducing child mortality among at-risk populations worldwide by advancing the availability, access and use of essential micronutrients, especially vitamin A. We work with Vitamin Angels to help expand their global reach and impact, especially in their efforts to work with local NGOs on locally sustainable micronutrient supply and distribution systems.

World Food Programme (WFP)

The DSM-WFP partnership, Improving Nutrition, Improving Lives, is stronger than ever since its inception in 2007, boosting the nutritional value of the food that the WFP distributes to vulnerable people. In fact, around 39.4 million people were nourished through our partnership in 2017. We also work with the WFP on training and development initiatives and employee fundraising campaigns.

World Vision

DSM and World Vision work together in a nutrition partnership that creates shared value for all stakeholders, including consumers. Our work involves investing in ways to get nutritionally improved foods to the most vulnerable people – through staple food fortification and bold new delivery systems for nutritionally improved food.

EIT Food

Supported by the EU's European Institute of Innovation and Technology,?EIT Food is Europe’s leading food innovation initiative. Comprising a consortium of key industry players, startups, research centres and universities, EIT Food aims to collaborate closely with consumers to develop new knowledge and technology-based products and services that will ultimately deliver a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for all Europeans.
