insects are the original superfood.
Every ecosystem relies heavily upon insects. Animals, fungi, and Humans can benefit because they contain all nine essential amino acids, and important minerals, and they can be up to 69% protein and lipids.
Insect farming looks certain to be a growth industry as our precious resources diminish.
The Edible Insects Market is expected to reach $9.6 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 28.3% from 2022 to 2030. Regarding volume, the edible insect market is expected to reach 3,139,035.10 tonnes by 2030, at a CAGR of 31.1% from 2022 to 2030. The growth of this market is driven by the growing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock and poultry industries, the high nutritional value of insects, the environmental benefits of edible insects, the rising demand for insect protein in the animal feed industry, and the low risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases with the consumption of edible insects.*
And the demand for animal protein is expected to rise by 70–80% between 2012 and 2050, while the current animal production sector already causes major environmental degradation.
A Sustainable solution.
It is becoming clear that insects can be mass-produced with much lower utilisation levels of land, water, fertiliser, pesticide, feed, energy, and other resources. These efficiencies are also likely to have benefits toward reducing climate change and the destruction of biodiversity and the natural environment.
Future-proof Industry.
This is the most exciting time to be involved in this emerging and transformative new industry, as we work toward establishment of a family and suite of new commodities derived from the largest and most diverse, yet most underutilized, group of organisms on the planet: Class Insecta.
Efficiency & Environment.
Insects have a feed conversion efficiency that is between 12-25 times greater than cattle and their production requires very little land and resources. And are a more sustainable source of animal protein and a perfect addition to introducing a circular economy system in your business.
Market & Demand.
The demand and market for protein, especially from animal sources, is exploding worldwide and as developing nations grow and industrialise, this will only increase. However, already 70% of agricultural land and 30% of all land on earth are utilized to raise animals.
