Nutrition is becoming a lever for both performance and footprint, and the strategy differs by region. Andy speaks with Dr. Behnam Saremi of CJ Bio about the outlook across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where climate, feed availability, and policy targets push nutritionists toward new formulations. The discussion explains how single amino acids enable lower crude protein without sacrificing growth, how precision diets can reduce nitrogen and carbon outputs, and why immune status and health challenges should guide formulation choices rather than sit outside the model.

They also explore the role of data. Dr. Saremi shares where big datasets and AI can help connect physiology, feed economics, and sustainability metrics in ways that guide real decisions. The episode offers a practical set of ideas any nutritionist can test. Start with a clear outcome, validate with commercial trials, and bring procurement and operations into the conversation early so that better formulations become better results on the balance sheet and in the environment.
