Certified and Transparent
Sustainability isn’t just about what goes into the feed—it’s about where it comes from. Leading soy producers are stepping up:
ProTerra certified soy: Sourced from Brazil and the USA, this certification ensures non-GMO, deforestation-free, and socially responsible practices.
Donau Soja: European producers committed to traceable, sustainable soy cultivation.
Traceability matters: Aquafeed manufacturers now use integrated traceability systems that track soy from the farm to the feed mill including transportation and storage. This ensures transparency and accountability across the supply chain.
Soy’s role in aquafeeds isn’t just about performance, it’s also about environmental responsibility. Here’s how soy stacks up:
Carbon footprint: Varies tremendously depending on country of origin and processing methods. Soy grown under regenerative practices in Europe or the U.S. tends to have a significantly lower footprint than soy linked to deforestation.
GMO free soy: We solely use GMO-free soy in our aquafeeds. This means our soy is sourced exclusively from non-genetically modified crops, ensuring full traceability and compliance with strict quality standards.
Circular and restorative potential: When cultivated under regenerative agriculture systems, soy can help restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon.
FFDR advantage: Soy is a cornerstone of low Fish meal and Fish Oil Dependency Ratio (FFDR) diets. By replacing fish meal with soy protein concentrate, aquafeeds reduce pressure on wild fish stocks and support more circular, resource-efficient food systems.
