(SeaPRwire) –   Houdek marks several successive years of lowering its Carbon Intensity.

BROOKINGS, S.D., April 22, 2026 — Houdek, a premier producer of fermented, plant-based ingredients for aquaculture, livestock, and pet nutrition, has issued its 2026 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report in alignment with Earth Day.

Titled “Our Nature,” the report embodies Houdek’s mission to supply sustainable, versatile ingredients to feed and food producers, as well as animal owners, through its recognized fermentation process.

Houdek CEO Mark Luecke stated, “Our ‘Our Nature’ report showcases how Houdek has utilized fermentation to enhance life on earth since our founding fifteen years ago. Our ingredients deliver unmatched health and nutritional benefits and are manufactured through ethical, traceable, and sustainable practices. Earth Day offers an ideal moment to present our team’s dedication, superior products, and commitment to a worldwide audience.”

A key highlight in Houdek’s “Our Nature” report is the firm’s ongoing achievement in decreasing its Carbon Intensity Score. “Two key factors contribute to our success,” said Luecke. “First, our location and operations are inherently sustainable. We have direct relationships with the farms and farmers and are situated near optimal sources of plant-based meals. Second is our application of fermentation technology to create functional ingredients. We naturally and effectively enhance the fundamental nutrients from nature to substantially advance animal health and nutrition.”

Originally established as Prairie AquaTech in 2011, Houdek aimed to bring university-developed fermentation technology to the aquaculture market, assisting fish farmers in complying with regulations and lessening dependence on wild-caught feed fish. Over time, the company has expanded, creating and marketing ingredients for livestock and pet food formulations.
