The Sustainable Feed Mission is a Norwegian national initiative set to transform their food system though feeds. Bringing together industry, research, and policymakers, the mission aims to cut emissions, enhance food security, and strengthen Norwegian feed ingredient production.
An all-time low FFDR of 0.37 was reported today in BioMar’s 2024 Sustainability Report. This milestone was reached through the innovative use of alternative ingredients and trimmings, which now represent 55% of the total marine ingredients.
Conventional farming has led to soil degradation, with an estimated 60 years of topsoil left if depletion continues. Regenerative agriculture offers a solution by improving soil microbiomes, which are crucial in creating symbiotic relationships with crops.
The collaboration between Lunar, BioMar, Scottish Sea Farms, and Marks & Spencer is a great example of a local value chain in action, that starts in Scottish waters and ends on Scottish dinner tables. By working together, we can enhance the resilience of Scotland’s seafood supply chain, ensuring a responsible and efficient food system.
BioMar’s Costa Rica production facility has achieved ASC Feed Certification, marking a significant step forward towards responsible feed production for Central America's aquaculture industry.
Biomar, in its effort to continue with its 2030 sustainability agenda, has made progress in defining and developing suppliers that are sustainable and increasingly closer to our production factories.
BioMar seeks to decouple feed supply chains from directly competing with food for human consumption.
Yield10 Bioscience and BioMar Group have signed an agreement to form a long-term partnership to commercialise a Camelina crop.
Early results from the “Alga4Fuel&Aqua” research project, in which BioMar Hellenic is participating, indicate that a mix of the microalgae species
BioMar has several ways of securing responsibly sourced and safe raw materials.
Creating a circular and restorative future for aquaculture means finding new ways to minimise waste, optimise resources, and regenerate natural systems.
Raw materials purchased by BioMar are sourced all over the globe and from very different environments.
