The IFIF Sustainability Committee plays a central role in advancing the Federation’s mission to support the sustainable development of animal production through science-based solutions. Composed of senior experts from IFIF member organizations, the Committee provides strategic guidance and oversight to ensure alignment across IFIF’s sustainability initiatives. It reviews ongoing projects, monitors global policy developments, and identifies opportunities where the feed industry can demonstrate leadership in reducing its environmental footprint while contributing to food security, farmer livelihoods, and animal welfare.
In recent years, the Committee has actively coordinated IFIF’s work with key international initiatives, including the Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI), the FAO Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership, and the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL). It has supported the launch of the Road to 2050 initiative, developed industry-wide positions such as the “Role of the Feed Industry in Supporting Sustainable Livestock Production,” and provided expert input into global sustainability guidelines and datasets. By integrating technical expertise with a forward-looking perspective, the Sustainability Committee ensures IFIF continues to champion credible, science-driven contributions to climate action and the sustainable transformation of the livestock sector.
