Trouw Nutrition is part of Nutreco, a global leader in animal nutrition and fish feed. There is a strong interconnection between Trouw Nutrition and Nutreco. Innovation is at the heart of what Nutreco and Trouw Nutrition stand for. Experience across 100 years brings Nutreco a rich heritage of knowledge and experience for building its future.
In a world with limited natural resources and a growing population, there is a rising demand for high quality meat, fish and shrimp. We aspire to be the global leader in providing innovative and sustainable nutritional solutions that best support the performance of animals, fish and shrimp.
The growing world population, urbanisation, a growing middle class and changing diets will lead to a surge in demand for fish and meat, especially in emerging markets. This brings opportunities for the feed industry to grow its business. However, there are also sustainability issues like scarcity of resources, food safety, animal welfare, antibiotic resistance, pollution, climate change and loss of biodiversity. In addition, we must cope with volatile commodity prices, as supply and demand fluctuate, and with unbalanced cost/price distributions in the value chain.
We only have one planet. Our global footprint exceeds the world’s capacity to regenerate by about 30%. If we continue like today, we’ll need the equivalent of two planet earths by the mid 2030s. There is a rising demand for high quality meat, fish and shrimp. Agriculture and Aquaculture have the responsibility to deliver more from less. Innovation is the key to achieveing this. Innovation brings efficiency, but efficiency without sustainability is not an option. Economic growth must be decoupled from environmental impact.
By 2050 it is estimated that our planet will have nine billion people. The world will need to increase its food production by 70% in order to meet future demand while simultaneously reducing the environmental impacts by half.
What can Nutreco do to help?
Nutreco created its Sustainability Vision 2020, to guide our sustainability initiatives in the next decade.
The elements of the Sustainability Vision 2020 reflect our ability to influence the value chain in three principle areas. Ingredients that form the base of our products; Production of products in our own factories; and our Nutritional Solutions that we sell to our customers. We keep the wheel of sustainability turning by our continued commitment to Feeding the Future.
