The Knowledge X-Change Programme is designed to identify the barriers and opportunities for industry-wide adoption of sustainable feed. The objective is about shifting the 10% by exchanging information and evidence to help secure broader industry adoption of sustainable feed alternatives and influence key players in the value chain.
“Given the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crisis, we need to move to sustainable supply chains fast. We simply don‘t have the luxury of time. We have to scale up sustainable innovations much faster than we have in the past. We need approaches that work for innovators, large corporates and investors alike – and that bring measurable benefits for people and planet. Feed X and Project X promise just that.” Thomas Vellacott, CEO, WWF CH

Knowledge X-Change Event
Innovator Exchange Fireside Chats
Innovator Exchange was a series of four conversations resulting from the webinars in September.
We were asked by several retailers whether they could hear more from the innovators themselves, as the second webinar, where they were introduced, was not long enough. As such, we set up a series of 4 topics of conversations to explore with the innovators and retailers/food distributors, key aspects of sustainability.
We wanted to show the complexity and also give the innovators an opportunity to show what they are exploring and get their reactions to the topic in general. During 2019, IKEA supported 4 key areas of interest in the Project X de-risking stage; Environment, Ethical and Social Acceptability, as well as Nutrition. It was the first three topics we felt offered a framework for exploring the innovators in more detail. As such these four meetings for a select group, emerged and are shared with you here.
If you would like to know more about the introduction on the topics then please see the documents in the Knowledge Bank as you will find some of the documents there. Otherwise please feel free to contact us and request the documents. In the meantime, if you would like to join us in the next series of Webinars and conversations, please let us know via the registration form at the knowledge exchange events section.

Knowledge X-Change Event
FEED-X – Assessing the impact of changing feed ingredients
– create confidence in the value chain for alternatives
When: May/June 2021
Benefit: Sharing results of demonstrating commitments
Project X has had an exciting year so far – transitioning from piloting its programme methodology with FEED-X, to now preparing for expansion into the 10 in 10. As we are currently busy building the foundations for this expansion, we have decided to postpone the scheduled 2021 events until a time when we are ready to share our learnings and insights from FEED-X.
We will of course be in touch about new dates in the coming six months.
