Sustainability - Animal Feed & Nutrition

The core of our business is delivering solutions more efficiently, both today and tomorrow.

A history of action

How do we nourish the world while protecting the planet? Sustainability is more important than ever to consumers, to communities, to all of us. Throughout our 150-year history, we have always sought to make your operations more efficient, in order to help you grow your business and conserve resources for future generations. Today, we bring our broad network and deep expertise to the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability as we continue to advance this noble goal. 

All of our efforts support Cargill’s large-scale focus on sustainability. As with the company’s priority areas of land use, water resources, climate change and farmer livelihoods, we are taking action in the places where we can make the biggest positive difference.

In Cargill Animal Nutrition, this means embedding sustainability in our business from product development onward. We are committed to ensuring all new products and services from our premix and nutrition business include a sustainability advantage within the animal agriculture value chain. To deliver on our promise of healthy seafood for future generations, we commit to support the sustainable growth of the global aquaculture industry by creating better operations in a better workplace with better supply chains.

What is sustainable animal nutrition?

As the global leader in animal nutrition, we play a vital role in the food system. Making sure that system works both today and tomorrow will require innovative thinking across a number of dimensions. These include the interrelated environmental, economic and social aspects of agriculture. Because these factors will at times require tradeoffs, we think it’s important to have open dialogue that aims to find the most sustainable solutions.

We also strive to increase transparency in the supply chain. We want consumers to better understand how feed is produced and how animals are raised and treated, giving them confidence to choose the products they want. Whether it’s the way we source agricultural materials, innovate new products and technologies, or ensure animal wellbeing and human health, we believe the work we do is helping create a brighter future.

All of our efforts support Cargill’s large-scale focus on sustainability. As with the company’s priority areas of land use, water resources, climate change and farmer livelihoods, we are taking action in the places where we can make the biggest positive difference. This includes the specific aspects of the company’s four corporate focus areas that are most closely tied to Cargill’s animal nutrition business, as identified above.
