The MBOLD Coalition commissioned this analysis, with the support of the Builders Initiative, to promote the adoption of soil health practices on agricultural land and to advance sustainability in animal agriculture through the development of alternative feed ingredients such as winter camelina meal. While bringing new crops to market is a long and complex process, MBOLD is committed to building the knowledge base and exploring how crops like winter camelina can become a viable and valuable option for both farmers and supply chain stakeholders. Gaining a better understanding of camelina’s environmental performance is central to this effort. This report synthesizes the current state of knowledge on winter camelina’s environmental performance, with the aim of informing growers, agronomists, supply chain participants, and policymakers as they evaluate its potential for agricultural diversification and sustainable intensification. MBOLD thanks the Builders Initiative for their funding of this analysis.
