Agriculture contributes significantly to exceeding planetary boundaries. In Germany, food consumption causes 2,060 kg CO₂e per person annually, which corresponds to 21% of the country's consumption-related emissions [1]. Animal products in particular have a significant impact on the environment. Around 85% of climate-relevant emissions from animal products in Germany come from agriculture, with half of these emissions attributable to feed production and the other half to direct emissions from animal husbandry [1]. Despite the importance of feed production, there is a lack of statistical data on the average feed composition for different animal species in Germany. To close this gap, corsus was commissioned by the Agora Agrar think tank to conduct a study to determine the average feed rations for farm animals in Germany.

Wissen Sie, welche Auswirkungen Ihre Produkte auf Biodiversität haben? Wussten Sie, dass die Auswirkungen auf Biodiversität ebenso wie ein Klimafußabdruck quantifiziert werden können? Genau dazu hat die Biologin Dr. Ulrike Eberle, Geschäftsführerin von corsus,  gestern im Rahmen des digitalen Arbeitskreises Biodiversität des Zentrum für Nachhaltige Unternehmensführung vorgetragen.

With the Plön Sustainability Conference, the district of Plön sent a strong signal for sustainable development, cooperation and shaping the future locally. Representatives from politics, administration, civil society, voluntary work and finance came together to exchange perspectives, provide impetus and initiate concrete next steps. corsus supported the development of the district's sustainability strategy and Anke Butscher moderated the conference.
