The Scientific Council includes experts on ISO LCA methodology and animal nutrition/feed from
Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe and South-America.
The SFIS project is designed to measure and establish the role of specialty feed ingredients on
the environmental impact of livestock production and the Scientific Council will provide
independent expert advice on the project during the course of the work in order to ensure
scientifically robust inputs in the analysis and prepare the ground for a future peer reviewed
publication of the project output once it is completed.
Professor Dr Matthias Finkbeiner, Chair of Sustainable Engineering at the Technical University
Berlin and Chairman of the SFIS Scientific Council, welcomes the “involvement of globally
renowned experts in such an important project, which aims to contribute to global activities in
the area of the environmental effect of livestock production.” Prof. Finkbeiner added “the
Members of the Council would provide expert review for results of the projects, which will be
shared with international stakeholders and with feed chain operators in order to encourage
more sustainable livestock production globally.”
