Sustainability at DSM safeguarding our world and its people
Premixes and Blending
As the world’s population grows, demand for animal protein will continue to rise. Over time, the need for ever-increasing quantities of animal protein, which is already placing tremendous pressure on our planet’s finite natural resources, will lead to significant environmental strain and take our food systems well beyond the planet’s boundaries.
