Development of Dutch GFLI datasets
The Dutch Feed Industry Association represents the interests of its members, 90 animal feed producers. Blonk has updated the Nevedi Carbon Footprint list with animal feed ingredients. This ingredient list is extensively used by the Dutch dairy industry, since the calculated feed impacts are used as input for the Kringloopwijzer. The Nevedi Carbon Footprint list allows to be easily used on a harmonized method by Nevedi members and follows GLFI wherever possible.

Methodological exploration by Blonk and DSM
Together with DSM we set up a methodological study, by way of road testing, to explore the applicability of sector Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) guidelines, such as FAO LEAP and European Commission Product Environmental Footprint (EC PEF). In APS-footprint we modeled nutritional interventions, specifically the use of feed additives, and explored the effects. The study was externally reviewed by experts, according to the ISO 14044 LCA guidelines.

Developed by Merieux Nutrisciences | Blonk, Agri-footprint is world's leading source of high-quality, reliable and consistent secondary database for the agri-food sector. It covers data on food, feed, and agricultural intermediate products covering over 4800+ products and processes.
GFLI database
The Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI) is an independent organization that focuses on developing a publicly available Animal Nutrition Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) database. Their database contains high-quality datasets for animal feed ingredients. The GFLI database is the leading international source of LCA information on animal feed production and contributes to making the sector more sustainable.
The GFLI database contains environmental impact data on raw feed materials from different geographical areas, comprising regional, sectoral, and branded data. Our Agri-footprint LCA database is the primary source for regional data. Sectoral and branded data are added with every update, continuously expanding the database with the ultimate goal of improving the feed industry's environmental performance.
