Eliminating deforestation
Deforestation is a complex challenge. The well-intentioned measures used to halt climate change and preserve our biodiversity need to be compatible with the right of landowners looking to make a living. Nutreco wants to play a key role, and, to this end, we continue to work towards a payment for environmental services agreement as part of the Brazilian Cerrado Working Group. In 2020, Skretting and the farmed salmon feed industry in Norway successfully negotiated a land deforestation and conversion-free cut-off date for all soy protein concentrate purchases from three Brazilian traders.
