Co-products, or in other words residual flows, play an important role in making our food chain sustainable. When crops are processed, some parts remain that are not edible for humans but can be used in animal feed. We process these parts into nutritious feed for cows, pigs and chickens. In this way, animals make these co-products valuable and convert it into milk, meat and eggs. In other words: to have sustainable food on our plates, animals are crucial.
This is how we take responsibility with CirQlar, together with suppliers, livestock farmers, processors and retailers: For the Future of Farming.
This is the power of co-products.
Animals play an important role in making our food sustainable. They convert co-products not suitable for human consumption into important proteins. Manure finds its way back into fertile farmland. In this way farmers can improve the efficiency of their farms, while impacting the environment as little as possible. A great, but quite complicated system. In this image, you see how the different food flows find their way from farmer to consumer and back again.
With CirQlar, ForFarmers offers livestock farmers a complete range of co-products for cows, goats, pigs and chickens. By making good use of valuable crop nutrients, we reduce CO2 emissions. Animals get tasteful feed with CirQlar co-products. A balanced feed supply with co-products can ensure growth, increase milk yield and better animal health and profitability. In this way, we are working together on a future-oriented food system. Unleash the power of co-products with us.
ForFarmers is committed to future-oriented agriculture. Sustainably produced animal feed is key for this. We serve more than 26,000 customers in Europe from over 30 production locations. The sale of co-products to livestock farmers has been an integral part of our portfolio for many years. Together with suppliers, we strive for the lowest possible environmental impact. We calculate the CO2 emissions of our main feed ingredients. We use the FAO definition and classifications; meanwhile, 67% of our feed ingredients are not suitable for human consumption. We thus ensure continuous high-quality processing of co-products.
ForFarmers is committed to a strong and healthy agricultural sector. We supply feed and co products at competitive prices to over 26,000 livestock farmers in Europe from over 30 mills. We support our farmers with data, (monitoring) tools and advice. Together with them, suppliers and processors in the food chain, we strive for the lowest possible environmental impact. Therefore, we calculate the CO2 emissions of our main feed ingredients. In doing so, we use the FAO definition and classifications. Through years of experience, we actively contribute to welfare concepts and initiatives that make food sustainable. Together, we unleash the power of co-products!
ForFarmers is committed to a strong and healthy agricultural sector and a sustainable food chain. To this end, we want to work with the entire chain, in addition to cooperating with our farmers, processors and suppliers. We do this by efficiently processing food that is not suitable for human consumption anymore into animal feed. And by calculating the CO2 emissions of key feed ingredients. Safe feed, transparency in the chain and animal welfare are our top priorities.
Producing food sustainably is a shared responsibility. The whole chain has to work together, and residual flows are an important part of that. By working together with our farmers, suppliers and other parties in the chain, we ensure that food is produced sustainably, with a good return for the farmer and the least possible impact on the environment. CirQlar provides livestock farmers with a balanced feed supply, using residues from the food industry. Together, we unleash the power of co-products.
