Ajinomoto has entered a global strategic partnership with Danone to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sources from the milk supply chain.
The initiative will use Ajinomoto’s AjiPro-L lysine formulation, which the parties claim to be an efficient GHG reduction method in the market.
The seasoning producer said that its AjiPro-L effectively delivers lysine to the cow’s digestive system to be absorbed as a nutrient and, therefore, reduces feed costs for farmers and a broad spectrum of GHG emissions.
“We are committed to mitigating negative impacts and expanding positive ones through strategies in line with our purpose of contributing to the well-being of all human beings, our society and our planet with ‘AminoScience’,” Sumio Maeda, executive officer, VP, and GM of Ajinomoto’s bio and fine chemicals division.
“With partners like Ajinomoto Co, we are expanding our toolkit of solutions that we bringing to our dairy farmers that have a dual effect – on the one hand reducing on-farm GHG emissions whilst on the other, supporting farmers to improve their margin, and as a result, boost their resilience,” said Jean-Yves Krummenacher, chief procurement officer at Danone.
The companies will also work on introducing the solution to Danone’s contracted farmers in Spain, Brazil, and the US, and to Danone’s own farmers in Egypt and Morocco.
