Join us on June 27th, from 1:30 till 2:15 PM (CEST) + 45 more minutes of informality. We'll feature Nijsen for the fourteenth use case in our Digital Food series. Nijsen specializes in processing by-products from the food industry into unique Food-For-Feed raw materials. Registration is no longer possible.
Food-For-Feed is crucially important to reduce food waste and turn animal husbandry into a means to stop wasting carbon to the atmosphere. Feed company Nijsen decided to rebuild its business model to include animal husbandry in the fight against climate change.
Nijsen transforms around 2.300 different food by-products, 100.000 ton annually, into feed. The company plans the volume flows, taking quality and quantity (e.g., ingredients) into account, and transforms this into high-quality homogeneous feed ingredients. Subsequently, Nijsen converts these ingredients into feeds specifically for different pig breeds and life stages, as well as laying hens.
Nijsen’s Managing Director John Geurts and Business Development Manager Karel van der Velden will show how they plan incoming ‘waste’ ingredients, and how data turn them into valuable feed products.
Data are essential to plan Nijsen’s daily business sustainably. Nijsen assesses, for instance, where ingredients are available and plans the optimal ratio between distance and re-usage. Optimizing driving distance is an essential part of the job to reduce the use of energy, even if it is green.
Sustainable Food Choices
Additionally, as a business-to-business company Nijsen provides information on sustainability that helps consumers to make informed sustainable food choices. Nijsen helps its customers (the chain of farmers, meat processors and retailers) to inform consumers about the environmental and climate value of circular versus traditional fed meat. It can help larger individual supermarkets to produce meat from their own leftovers that couldn’t be put to better use (like a food bank).
Moreover, Nijsen’s data is crucial input for scope 3 carbon footprint reporting (CSRD in the EU) by processors and retailers selling meat from animals fed by Nijsen.
