THANK YOU! Thanks to your support, we raised $12,941 through our crowdfunding campaign—all of which will go towards getting off the ground this summer. Stay in touch.

The world’s population is growing rapidly, and the global demand for animal protein—from fish to poultry, beef, and pork— is growing with it. But there’s a problem: animal feeds are made from wild-caught fish like anchovies and sardines. These fish are caught using highly destructive fishing methods that result in unintentional by-catch and the destruction of coral reefs. More than 90% of the world’s fisheries are either fully-exploited, over-exploited or collapsed. We are feeding fish to other animals, and it doesn’t make sense.

Insects, on the other hand, provide all the essential nutrients necessary for livestock development but have none of the negative externalities. They require vastly fewer resources to raise and provide all the essential nutrients. We work with food and beverage companies to implement on-site solution non-buzzing, non-biting fly called the black soldier fly, that consumes organic waste—everything from spent grain from breweries to residue from dairy processing.

Why black soldier flies?
