Time for action

The world economies are emerging from recession, which is good. Rising incomes in addition to the rising population means a rapid rise in the demand for animal protein food: meat, fish, milk and eggs. We must act now to set the rules and criteria that we can all agree to as we respond to this food production and sustainability challenge. I am confident it is possible and that, with its sustainability strategy in place, Nutreco can fulfil a core role in sustainably feeding the world of tomorrow.
