Data key for animal protein’s Net Zero​ journey

Better data will unlock market opportunities and power the sustainability transformation, according to Royal DSM. The Dutch multinational recently launched a platform designed to reduce livestock emissions through feed, which it says helps improve poultry, swine, and ruminant operations.
