NEW TECH FOODS

DSM-Firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has entered a strategic partnership with FarmTrace, a global farm connection and analytics platform, to simplify the way environmental data is collected and processed on farms.

The agreement integrates DSM-Firmenich’s "environmental footprinting solution," Sustell, with FarmTrace’s platform, automating the flow of farm-level information. The move aims to reduce the need for manual inputs and questionnaires, which have often been barriers to scaling sustainability reporting.

According to the companies, the integration will make sustainability measurement more accessible and consistent, allowing farmers and supply chains to expand reporting across large networks of farms.

David Nickell, VP of sustainability and business solutions at DSM-Firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, said: “Farmers are being asked to do more than ever, and sustainability shouldn’t add complexity. Through our partnership with FarmTrace, we are enabling end-to-end integration of accurate, real-time farm data into Sustell, so we can focus on what we do best: translating data into actionable insights that drive environmental improvement.”

Katherine Zambaldi, CEO of FarmTrace, added: “Sustainable food systems need scalable solutions. By linking our data infrastructure with Sustell, we’re helping unlock value from existing farm technology and enabling sustainability insights without adding administrative burdens.”

"By eliminating the friction of time-consuming manual data collection, the integration between FarmTrace and Sustell saves farmers time, makes sustainability measurement more accessible and consistent, and enables supply chains to scale environmental reporting across hundreds or thousands of farms. This marks a significant step in DSM-Firmenich’s mission to make measurable sustainability a practical reality for every farm, everywhere.”
