About

*Partner Search: Advancing Insect Farming for a Circular Food Economy*

Insect farming is an emerging and rapidly growing sector, providing access to climate-smart protein, essential nutrients, and income opportunities. As we face increasing challenges of arable land scarcity, water shortages, and high ecological footprints, insect farming presents a promising solution with significant circular economy potential.

We are seeking partners to collaborate on advancing research and implementation in this field. Our recent review highlights key trends in substrate selection and commonly farmed insect species, a mapping of commercial enterprises, nutritional profiles, processing techniques, and the regulatory landscape. These insights address both technical and economic factors essential for successful insect farming.

Together, we can create effective partnerships that enable the scaling of insect farming technologies and foster innovative pathways for a sustainable circular food economy. Join us in exploring exciting opportunities to reshape food systems and promote resilience in communities.
