Company Details

Sustainable insect protein for animal feed, addressing resource scarcity. The company produces insect-based protein for animal feed stocks, accelerating sustainable agriculture and tackling resource scarcity with a minimal carbon footprint. Driven by a desire to address land and resource limitations and sustainably feed a growing population, the company processes and produces insect-based protein for animal feedstocks at a lower cost with equivalent nutritional value, using otherwise unconsumed food to raise the insects and return protein to the food cycle. They specialize in breeding the Black Soldier Fly, selected for its beneficial, high-yield quality, and process it into powder, oil, and fertilizer. Their products serve aquaculture, pet food, poultry, and pork industries, contributing to a more sustainable food system. This is a B2B company with a strong social impact.
