Why We Source
Non-Deforestation Soya in Home n' Dry?
At Home n’ Dry, we understand that everyone needs to play a role in tackling climate change. Deforestation contributes to about 1/5th of total greenhouse gas emissions, with additional impact through damage and fragmentation of habitat. The result? Loss of biodiversity, disruption of water cycles and displacements in population. The United Nations ‘17 Sustainable Development Goals’ are an urgent call to help end poverty and other deprivations globally.
Pressure is building to ensure soya is sourced sustainably, especially within the agricultural industry, where 75% of imported soya into the UK is used in animal feed. 68% of UK soya comes from South America and the countries that are most at risk of deforestation and habitat destruction. Therefore, we are proud that the soya used within Home n’ Dry is non-GM and sourced from non-deforestation areas.
As you may be aware, Arla have been working on their sustainability credentials for many years. They already have milk with a CO2 emission intensity more than 50% lower than the global average. With demands from their customers and government change, and with their understanding of the planet and its needs, they see the need to evolve further with greater urgency.

Supporting Sustainable
Livestock Production
Sustainability within livestock farming extends beyond feed sourcing alone. Improving feed efficiency, reducing waste and making better use of home-grown crops can all contribute towards more efficient production systems. Home n’ Dry Alkasystems technology has been developed to help farmers maximise the value of available feed resources whilst supporting rumen function and nutrient utilisation.
Efficient feed utilisation can contribute to improved productivity from the same quantity of feed, helping producers work towards both economic and environmental objectives.
