Sustainability
At De Heus, we recognise the critical role of sustainable food production in ensuring global food security. We work alongside farmers and partners to share knowledge, promote sustainable practices, and support resilient food systems that benefit both people and the planet. Our mission extends beyond nutrition; we actively contribute to the availability of safe, affordable, nutritious and sustainable food worldwide.
Our purpose: Nourishing Future Generations
As the global population grows and resources become increasingly scarce, the challenges of food security, hunger, and climate change demand urgent action. We believe that access to safe, affordable, nutritious, and sustainable food is not just a necessity - it’s a fundamental human right. That’s why we are committed to building sustainable food systems - ensuring food security for everyone, today and for generations to come.
‘Nourishing Future Generations’ is more than a goal; it’s our promise. By helping farmers worldwide produce more with fewer resources, we contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet. Through high-quality animal feed and expert nutritional support, we help ensure healthy animals, productive farms, and resilient food systems.
We believe nutritious food is a fundamental human right.
Responsible Feeding Programme
To turn our sustainability strategy into reality, we developed the Responsible Feeding Programme; a comprehensive, long-term initiative that strengthens food systems, optimizes production, reduces environmental impact, and supports farmers and local communities.
At the same time, it allows us to address the impact of our own operations across the food value chain. We see sustainability both as a responsibility and an opportunity: one that creates value for farmers, communities, and stakeholders worldwide.
