Turn challenge
into opportunity
As a dairy producer, you face multiple pressures – with billions of people experiencing food insecurity, the impacts of climate change becoming more evident by the day, and businesses navigating challenging economic landscapes, rising legislative demands, and constantly shifting consumer expectations.
Working towards a more sustainable dairy production with biosolutions can help you reduce risks, lower costs, improve efficiency, open new markets, enable healthier products, and strengthen competitiveness – turning today’s challenges into opportunities for long‑term resilience.
How we enable a healthy planet and healthy lives
Novonesis' biosolutions can help you drive more sustainable dairy production across your value chain. We focus on five areas that support you in building a more resilient business that nourishes the world while reducing pressure on the planet’s resources.
Five areas where biosolutions can help create positive impact
Tackling scope
3 emissions together
As a dairy producer, you know most GHG emissions come from upstream, counted as scope 3. Reducing these emissions requires action on-farm and in resource-efficient processing. Our biosolutions target areas that lower environmental impact while unlocking economic gains.
Optimized farm inputs
Sustainability starts on the farm. With biosolutions, you can improve feed efficiency, animal health and resource utilization, helping cows produce up to one more kilogram of milk per day. This strengthens sustainability across the entire dairy value chain.
Efficient cheese yields
Get more cheese from the same milk volume. Specific coagulants like Chy-Max® Supreme increase cheese yield by up to 1%, reducing milk usage per ton of cheese and lowering GHG emissions.
Hybrid dairy innovation
Blend dairy with plant-based bases to lower land, water, and climate impacts while maintaining the taste, texture, and nutritional profile consumers love. A smart path to sustainable dairy production.
Reduce water,
boost value
Water is a critical resource under growing pressure, and dairy producers face increasing physical, regulatory, and reputational risks tied to its use. Our biosolution FutureMake™ Simplify Eco offers a path to water savings in cheesemaking, while also helping you improve operational efficiency. In particular, it allows you to reduce water use in curd washing or even skip this step, while enhancing the value of your whey stream.
Cut dairy waste & emissions
Food waste is a significant challenge – socially, it could feed billions; economically, it costs $1 trillion annually1; and environmentally it drives up to 10% of GHG emissions2 while wasting resources like land and water. You’re also facing growing pressure from policy makers, retailers, and consumers to take action. Our fermentation-enabled bioprotection solutions help extend shelf life and preserve freshness, enabling you to reduce waste while keeping products high-quality for longer.
Improving health and nutrition
Discover how biosolutions can help you enhance the benefits of your dairy products.
Dairy: A superfood for a growing world
With the global population nearing 10 billion, sustainable dairy is a vital source of nutrition for billions. Your dairy products provide essential protein, calcium, and vitamins. Swipe to explore how we can help you enhance their natural benefits to meet growing global health demands.
Boost protein, perfect texture
Consumers want high-protein dairy without sacrificing taste. Our specialized cultures and enzymes help you create protein-rich fermented products, ensuring a great taste and smooth texture while avoiding the chalky notes often associated with high-protein options.
Faster protein absorption
Unlock the full potential of dairy proteins. Through fermentation and enzymes, proteins are broken down into smaller, more bioavailable molecules. This process improves absorption, increasing the nutritional value your consumers get from every serving.
More essential minerals
Dairy is naturally rich in minerals, and fermentation makes them even easier to absorb. This process boosts the bioavailability of key nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and zinc by 20-40%, allowing your consumers to get more essential benefits from the dairy products they already love.
Support gut & immune health
Give consumers the health benefits they want. Adding clinically proven probiotics like LGG® for immunity and BB-12® for gut health offers an easy, enjoyable way to support their well-being – helping your products align perfectly with their wellness goals.
Enhance digestibility for all
Make dairy more accessible to everyone. Fermentation naturally reduces lactose content by up to 30%, while our specialized enzymes can help you create delicious lactose-free options for consumers with lactose intolerance or sensitivity.
Reduce sugar, keep the taste
Satisfy the demand for lower-sugar products without compromising quality. Specific cultures can produce a milder yogurt that needs less added sugar, while other biosolutions naturally enhance sweetness, allowing for a delicious taste with reduced sugar.
Simplify labels,
maintain quality
Consumers are looking for yogurt made with fewer and familiar ingredients. Our biosolutions enable you to remove unwanted additives, reduce costly milk protein powders, and simplify recipes for products that are transparent yet appealing.
