The Solution

Purpose-built farms that grow and transform insects into proteins and oils for animal feed and fertilizer for agriculture. The insects are fed with biowaste, closing the biological loop.

Case Study

By 2050, food production will need to increase by more than 70% to meet the needs of our planet’s growing population(1). This means massively increasing protein production today.

Ynsect offers an alternative valorization for biowaste, producing a source of protein to feed animals and plants, and eventually human beings.

The company’s first vertical insect farm, currently under construction in the north of France, will be a carbon negative operation.
