VIDO is committed to the interests of our members on a political, social and administrative level. We are the point of contact when it comes to legislation and regulations, quality, safety and the environment. VIDO plays an active role in improving business processes and guidelines and works together with partners such as Nevedi, FND, GMP+ International and the umbrella European organisation EFFPA (European Former Foodstuff Processors Association).
The aim of VIDO is to:
- To put animal feed on the map as the best alternative after human consumption;
- To represent the interests of our members before European institutions and to lobby for fair legislation;
- Continuously develop guidelines and production methods to ensure the quality and safety of animal feed;
- To facilitate knowledge exchange and research to make the processing of former foodstuffs even more efficient, sustainable and future-proof.
Impact on sustainability
The collective impact of VIDO's members is considerable: the affiliated companies annually give more than 320,000,000 kilos of former food a new destination. Together we save more than 40,000 hectares of products grown for animals, such as grains. In this way, VIDO's members contribute to reducing food waste and making the food industry and livestock farming more sustainable.
VIDO works closely with related (industry) organisations, such as Nevedi, FND and GMP+ International and is affiliated with the European umbrella organisation EFFPA .
