OATWELL®: DSM
OatWell®
Results show that the positive environmental and social effects are substantially higher than the environmental costs associated with OatWell®’s value chain. Producing OatWell® incurs environmental costs, mainly in water, energy and land use. A part of that costs is compensated because OatWell® replaces wheat that no longer has to be produced. Further significant environmental benefits are expected as a result of reduced food production, since research suggests that people eat considerably less when OatWell® is part of a healthy diet. The final effect is the expected social and economic benefit of reduced cardiovascular diseases, a specific health benefit of OatWell®.
