Insect bioconversion (IBC) refers to the utilisation of insects in converting organic biomass wastes (such as food wastes) into sustainable inputs for food, feed and non-food industries. Although core regulation in place currently in the UK allows for some forms of IBC to take place legally and compliantly, at present there remains a large gap in producer...

**Growth of the UK insect farming industry is currently curtailed by:** 1. tight legislation on the use of processed animal proteins, including insect proteins, severely limiting the markets for insect products. 1. a lack of protocols covering occupational health of staff involved in insect rearing under high-density monoculture conditions in enclosed art...

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming is now widely accepted as a key solution to tackling some of the world's biggest challenges in agriculture. BSF can simultaneously recycle food waste into insect-based animal feed (a sustainable alternative to fishmeal) and biofertiliser (a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisers). This highly complex farming system...

The world's food production system is broken. 20% of the food the EU produces each year is lost or wasted costing €143bn in addition to the environmental consequences. At the same time, current food production and, in particular, animal proteins have become increasingly environmentally unsustainable. Wild caught fishmeal stocks have declined by over 30% i...

"The project aims to make significant efficiency gains in the breeding of insects to achieve industrial-scale production of a replacement for fishmeal, an unsustainable animal feed ingredient. The UN predicts that by 2025, the world will have a 60m tonne deficit of protein with which to feed animals, fish and humans, equating to 12x current global fishmea...

"The growth in the world's population is putting strain on traditional food resources, animal protein in particular. World meat and fish production is projected to double by 2050 and all those animals need to be fed. The traditional sources of protein for animals feeds are wild-caught fishmeal and soy meal, the increasing production of which will further ...

This project aims to address the challenges of increasing rates of waste production, high demand for food and growing pressures on Brazil’s farming land through an innovative efficient recovery of high value compounds using Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly). Its objective is to provide a process to transform organic waste into proteins and lipids whic...
