DSM-Firmenich Animal Nutrition and Health and FarmTrace, a global farm connection and analytics platform, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate sustainable farming by removing one of the key barriers to environmental footprint measurement.
The collaboration will enable direct integration of agriculture’s leading environmental footprinting solution, Sustell, with the FarmTrace platform, significantly simplifying the collection and processing of farm-level data.
By automating the ingestion of information from connected farm systems, the partnership removes the need for repeated manual inputs and complex questionnaires, empowering farmers and supply chains to scale their sustainability efforts with greater ease, speed and accuracy.
“Farmers are being asked to do more than ever, and sustainability shouldn’t add complexity,” said David Nickell, vice president sustainability and business solutions at DSM-Firmenich Animal Nutrition and Health. “Through our partnership with FarmTrace, we are enabling end-to-end integration of accurate, real-time farm data into Sustell, so we can focus on what we do best: translating data into actionable insights that drive environmental improvement.”
By eliminating the friction of time-consuming manual data collection, the integration between FarmTrace and Sustell saves farmers time, makes sustainability measurement more accessible and consistent, and enables supply chains to scale environmental reporting across hundreds or thousands of farms. This marks a significant step in DSM-Firmenich’s mission to make measurable sustainability a practical reality for every farm, everywhere.
“Sustainable food systems need scalable solutions,” said Katherine Zambaldi, CEO of FarmTrace. “By linking our data infrastructure with Sustell, we’re helping unlock value from existing farm technology and enabling sustainability insights without adding administrative burdens.”
