dsm-firmenich and FarmTrace Partner to Streamline Farm Sustainability Tracking

03/10/2025

dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has entered a strategic partnership with FarmTrace, the global farm connection and analytics platform, to make sustainability measurement simpler and more scalable across livestock supply chains.

The collaboration directly integrates Sustell™, dsm-firmenich’s environmental footprinting solution, into the FarmTrace platform. This link removes the need for farmers to repeatedly input data manually or fill out lengthy questionnaires, one of the main barriers to implementing sustainability programs at scale.

By automating the flow of real-time data from farm systems, the partnership enables farmers and processors to accelerate their environmental reporting and compliance efforts. The economic impact is clear: less time spent on administration means lower costs for farmers, and greater consistency across supply chains strengthens credibility with customers and regulators.

David Nickell, Vice President Sustainability & Business Solutions at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, highlighted the business benefit: “Farmers are being asked to do more than ever, and sustainability shouldn’t add complexity. This partnership turns accurate farm data into actionable insights that drive measurable improvements.”

Katherine Zambaldi, CEO of FarmTrace, added: “Sustainable food systems need scalable solutions. Our integration with Sustell™ unlocks value from existing farm technology without adding new administrative burdens.”

The move supports dsm-firmenich’s mission to make measurable sustainability practical “for every farm, everywhere.” For agribusinesses, this also provides a pathway to standardized reporting across thousands of farms—critical as food companies face increasing pressure from both policymakers and consumers to prove environmental accountability.
