Practical insect- agriculture work, made  usable.

A small research lab turning mealworm field work into training, beta software, and advisory support. We've spent five years learning how to rear Tenebrio molitor in working rooms. Now we package that knowledge as software, curriculum, and field advisory, so operators can make better decisions before the expensive mistakes.

02

Academy, learn to rear.

Practical training for hobbyists, smallholders, and operators who want cleaner records before they scale. Self-paced foundations, downloadable protocols, and small live cohorts when there is enough demand.

  • Foundations (free), biology, husbandry, common failures
  • Operator track, eight-week practical training
  • Commercial track, facility planning, regulatory, HACCP prep
03

Platform, run the farm.

A private-beta workspace for insect-rearing teams replacing spreadsheets with cleaner batch, climate, yield, and compliance records. Best fit today for pilot rooms and small commercial facilities.

  • Batch records & cycle-time reviews
  • Climate & substrate logs with threshold prompts
  • Simple yield forecasts from recent batch history
  • Exportable records for audits and investor diligence
04

Advisory, design the operation.

Scoped advisory support for organisations entering insect protein. Feasibility studies, facility layout, supplier mapping, regulatory navigation, and first-operator planning. A small number of engagements each year.

  • Feasibility & site selection (4–6 weeks)
  • Operational design & SOP authoring (8–14 weeks)
  • Embedded sprints (per engagement)
05

The longest farm.

A low-mass farm that eats difficult substrate and finishes fast is worth testing carefully. That is a research question before it is a mission plan.

  • LEO · TRL 4, payload
  • LUNA · TRL 3, concept
  • MARS · TRL 2, research

Designed for practical operators, beyond legacy lab workflows.

01

Field protocols

Self-paced training and downloadable SOPs turn colony work into records you can defend before you scale.

02

Traceable records

A private-beta workspace replaces spreadsheets with batch, climate, yield, and compliance logs in one place.

03

Scoped support

Expert curation for facility design, regulatory navigation, and the economics of scaling insect production.

04

Verified outcomes

We manage the variables that break farms (cost, compliance, cycle time) with standards we are willing to publish.

Research-grade standards across every site.

Modeled on documented rearing practice, our process enforces traceable batches, protected timelines, and zero-guesswork tolerance.

FAQ / Common questions
Operators & partners

Before you ask.

Who is Entolab for?

Commercial operators planning or running insect-rearing rooms are our primary audience. Hobbyists and smallholders use the Academy as a practical on-ramp. Partners and researchers come to us for sober mission and regulatory briefings, not speculative theatre.

Where should I start?

If you are learning or tightening records before scale, start with Academy Foundations. If you already run batches and need a workspace, apply for Platform beta. If you are making a build or market-entry decision, book an Advisory scoping call.

Is the Platform available now?

It is in private beta. We onboard a small number of operators where the fit is clear and the workflow teaches us something useful. Join the list and we will reach out as capacity opens.

Where is operational data stored?

In the EU and UK. You own your data and can export it in full at any time. We never sell or share operational records.

Which species do you work with?

Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is the most mature thread across Academy, Platform, and Advisory. Black soldier fly and house cricket modules exist where operators help us validate assumptions.

Do you build or run facilities for clients?

No. We are not a contractor or operator-for-hire. We produce plans, specifications, and SOPs, and can stay embedded through commissioning, but your team executes the build and daily operations.

Run your farm with practical tools you can rely on.
