Benson Hill, Inc. and BioMar announced a strategic collaboration to leverage Benson Hill soy and further assess its sustainability impact on high-performance aquafeed formulations. BioMar is sourcing consecutive seasons of Benson Hill ingredients as part of its commitment to build restorative soy supply chains. Feed holds the primary cost in the farming of aquaculture and is the major contributor to its carbon footprint.

Benson Hill advances sustainability goals throughout the ingredient development process – from monitoring regenerative and deforestation-free practices on the farm to producing ingredients that reduce water and energy-intensive protein concentrating steps in processing. Together the companies are assessing how the advantages of Benson Hill ingredients advance BioMar's sustainability program and reduce the impact of aquaculture farming for BioMar customers. The companies expect this collaboration to demonstrate that reducing carbon emissions in the world's fastest-growing protein sector and meeting market demands for traceability can be achieved at the same time.
