Nufarm’s Omega-3 Canola Production System is the first land-based source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. It was developed to help meet growing global demand for heart-, brain-, and eye-health nutrition while reducing pressure on marine ecosystems.
What It’s Used For?
After harvest and processing, Omega-3 Canola oil is refined and incorporated into:
- Animal feed, especially aquaculture – reducing reliance on marine resources while supporting optimal animal health
- Nutritional supplements –The world’s only plant-based source of long-chain omega-3
- Fortified foods and beverages – A neutral tasting DHA and EPA that helps make essential nutrition more accessible
Why It Matters
- Health and Wellness: Provides a consistent, sustainable supply of long-chain omega-3s for people and animals.
- Sustainability: Offers a land-based alternative to fish oil, helping to conserve ocean resources.
- Agricultural Innovation: Connects growers to a global nutrition solution, demonstrating how farming can contribute directly to better health outcomes worldwide.
