Entolab’s farming operation is paused. Explore the work and discuss its future. Read the story

From hands-on farming
to practical questions.

Growing Entolab from a small colony to hundreds of trays meant learning husbandry, organising daily work and reaching buyers. That experience can inform a conversation about your farm or idea.

A proposed farm layout for exploring operational questions. It does not depict the original Entolab farm or a commissioned client installation.

Bring a practical question.

Discuss rearing routines, sensing, farm layout or a route to market. Any advisory work would need its scope and availability agreed directly.

Rearing and operational design
Discuss the routines, tray management and efficiency questions involved in developing a mealworm operation.
Observation and tools
Explore the potential role of sensing, visual computing and data in understanding the work.
Brands and a route to market
Draw on Cristian’s experience developing Entolab and EcoBooster and distributing live mealworms, frass and beetles nationally in the UK.

Discuss a future collaboration.

Explore a new venture, technical development or a project that builds on the brands and know-how. Share what interests you and what you could contribute. An initial idea is enough.
