Joint Statement: Urgent need to include EU deforestation regulation in the Commission simplification proposals
EU Vulnerability for the Sourcing of Essential Nutritional Feed Additives
FEFAC issued a study highlighting the EU’s strong dependency on Third Countries for essential feed additives such as vitamins and amino acids. The objective is to underline the resulting vulnerability of the feed, livestock and aquaculture sectors and the need for measures to strengthen resilience. Proposed actions include supporting the reshoring of production capacities in Europe, ensuring the continued operation of existing facilities, and fostering new investments, all within the framework of the EU Open Strategic Autonomy objectives.
EU Feed Circularity Catalogue – Existing Legal Restrictions to Enhanced Animal Feed Circularity
FEFAC, together with seven other industry sector federations and stakeholder organisations, launched a joint initiative to raise awareness on the regulatory obstacles currently limiting feed circularity in livestock production. The objective is to promote the development of a supportive legislative environment that encourages greater circularity in feed ingredient sourcing, without compromising safety. A set of proposed measures has been detailed in a joint report, alongside practical examples of regulatory restrictions that deserve re-examination. This initiative could serve as a foundation for an EU Feed Circularity Roadmap and feed into ongoing policy discussions, including the EU Circular Economy Act and upcoming reviews of relevant EU regulations.
Sustainable Animal Feeding Strategies
FEFAC initiated an awareness campaign on the potential benefits of advanced feeding strategies for enhanced and circular sustainable livestock and aquaculture production. The objective is to facilitate access to chain partners and decision-makers to sound scientific-based information on the techniques themselves, how they work and for which species, but also some considerations on the economic impacts and trade-offs. Practical case studies showcasing existing animal feeding strategies are now available online on the FEFAC website.
FEFAC Feed Sustainability Charter 2030
In September 2020 FEFAC launched its Feed Sustainability Charter 2030, setting out the five ambitions that contribute to more sustainable feed production. In June 2021 FEFAC released its 1st Feed Sustainability Charter Progress Report.
