IFEEDER Releases 2020-21 Annual Update

Arlington, VA — The Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER) released its 2020-21 annual update this week, providing financial and project highlights for the 501(c)(3) public charity.

"Since its beginning, IFEEDER has supported the animal feed and pet food industries through education and research. However, as the animal protein and pet food landscape evolves, so has our strategy,” said Tim Belstra, IFEEDER Board of Trustees chair, 2020-21.

“Through industry input, stakeholder action and consumer trends, we are guided toward focusing our efforts on sustainability.

"With that as a focal point, we’re building a strategy directed by a clear mission and vision.”
