Introducing IFIF
The International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) provides a unified voice and leadership to represent and promote the global animal feed industry, contributing to the sustainable supply of safe, nutritious, and affordable food for a growing world population.
The IFIF is made up of feed associations from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East, as well as feed-related organisations and corporate members from around the globe.
IFIF membership represents over 80% of total compound animal feed production worldwide.
IFIF is The global Voice of the feed industry
IFIF is a global feed industry advocate that aspires to support the industry through thought leadership on sustainable feed production, highlighting existing success stories and best practices, and guiding the industry towards untapped opportunities.
There is no one-size-fits-all. Solutions must reflect local realities. Livestock systems are shaped by the land, people, and purpose they serve. A variety of cultural, geographic and economic factors influence farming methods, leading to systems that rightfully differ across every continent. Sustainability strategies must account for this diversity by prioritising locally designed and implemented solutions.
To accomplish this aim, IFIF has launched the Road to 2050 project.
IFIF is conducting a systemic analysis to identify ‘triple win’ opportunities that strengthen environmental stewardship, support farmer livelihoods, and improve food security and safety.
WHY IFIF UNDERTOOK THIS INITIATIVE
Environmental, economic, and social goals are deeply interconnected and must be advanced together to achieve lasting progress.
Recognising this, IFIF is conducting a systemic analysis to identify ‘triple-win’ opportunities that strengthen environmental stewardship, support farmer livelihoods, and improve food security and safety, an approach aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals’ emphasis on interconnected solutions.
Using dynamic systems mapping, IFIF is visually and analytically exploring the complex structure of the global feed industry, within the agrifood chain, to identify high-impact levers for positive change, illustrated through targeted case studies that examine how challenges and barriers can be addressed.
The 'Road to 2050'
The 'Road to 2050' is a transformative global initiative setting out a practical and ambitious pathway toward a more resilient feed system.
The key insights are based on a global stakeholder survey, expert interviews and a systems analysis, covering key themes such as animal nutrition, climate action, biodiversity protection, circular economy principles, and responsible production practices.
This platform brings together industry case studies and best practices, highlighting key areas for action and opportunities for scaling impact:
