The U.S. poultry industry has made significant strides in sustainability over the past 60 years, thanks to improvements in production practices, bird genetics, and feed efficiency. However, historical drivers alone may not be sufficient moving forward. The industry must continue to innovate to achieve ambitious net zero targets, primarily driven by organizations like the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and shareholders.
At the 2024 Chicken Marketing Summit, our LCA expert, Ben Putman, discussed the key drivers of sustainability improvements, how the industry is adopting innovative practices to reach net zero emissions, and the challenges in sustaining this momentum.

• The role of the SBTi and its Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) targets in driving sustainability.
• Historical reductions in GHG emissions and their contributing factors.
• The challenges of tracking and reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions within the poultry supply chain.
• Future opportunities for continued sustainability progress in the industry.
