El galo Julien Laurençon y su socio François Nolet crearon Procens, un emprendimiento a partir de la crianza y alimentación con desperdicios de larvas provenientes de la mosca soldado negra

“Era un sueño al inicio pero hoy es una realidad”. Con ese sentimiento, el francés Julien Laurençon habla de su emprendimiento Procens, que creó dos años atrás con su socio belga François Nolet.

Con un mismo espíritu, los dos europeos se encontraron a mediados de 2018 en la ciudad cordobesa de Colonia Caroya y decidieron comenzar un proyecto de economía circular. En este contexto, a partir de la crianza de larvas provenientes de una mosca llamada soldado negra, orientaron un emprendimiento alimenticio para animales. El año pasado consiguieron una inversión de US$200.000 y para mediados de diciembre de 2021 terminarán con una ronda de inversión de US$1,5 millones.

We must transform every element of our take-make-waste system: how we manage resources, how we make and use products, and what we do with the materials afterwards. Only then can we create a thriving circular economy that can benefit everyone within the limits of our planet.

A way to transform our system

The circular economy gives us the tools to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss together, while addressing important social needs.
It gives us the power to grow prosperity, jobs, and resilience while cutting greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution

A circular economy eliminates waste, keeps products and materials in use and regenerates our natural world.

Insect larvae are being recruited by the millions to turn dirty and smelly waste from livestock industries, including pork and poultry, into stable and effective agricultural fertiliser.

A trial to feed manure from piggeries, chicken and other livestock farms to the larvae of black soldier flies is showing promising results.

Untreated manure produced by the 500,000 pigs grown in Australia each year is rich in nutrients, but it's not safe to use on all food crops.

Researchers are testing the effectiveness of insect larvae in transforming manure from commercial piggeries and chicken farms into versatile fertiliser.

“The cow in the room is being ignored at this Cop,” says Carl Le Blanc of Climate Healers. “Animal agriculture has been taken off the agenda and put on the menu.”

Le Blanc was one of a number of campaigners who joined climate marches on Saturday in Glasgow to demand action for a new sustainable food system. They fought strong gales to make their point with four giant inflatable animals tethered on ropes above their heads or strapped to the ground.

Each symbolised a different problem of the livestock industry: a 40ft cow for methane, a chicken for Covid and health, a fish for microplastics, and a pig for obesity.

Does the use of full-fat insect meal in their diets support gut function and growth of weaned piglets?
The inclusion of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) in feed for pigs reduced the relative abundance of Lactobacillus in the colon, but did not affect the animal’s overall performance, finds a Norwegian study.

Two students from Ghent have won a prize at Expedition DO!, the start-up programme of Ghent University, for developing insect-based pet food.
Animal feed is generally made from chicken and beef, among other things, but the two students told VRT that their goal is to find a more environmentally friendly way to produce pet food.

"Insects are a sustainable alternative to meat and dogs won't taste the difference," say the entrepreneurs. They hope to see their sustainable dog food on shelves in March.

The Thailand based start-up produces sustainable pet food and pet treats based on insect protein under the Laika brand.
The insect protein is sourced form black soldier fly larvae, which are raised on a diet of pre-consumed food waste, in line with Thai Union's circular economy principles.

Prior to the investment, Orgafeed took part in Space-F, a global
food-tech startup incubator and accelerator initiative, co-founded by Thai Union in 2019.

According to Thai Union, the investment will support the future growth of its pet care division, now known as i-Tail, and is in line with the business' ambitions to improve the nutritional aspect of its products.

El calentamiento global y los compromisos para reducir el consumo de combustibles fósiles están ampliando el mercado para las energías limpias. De todas ellas, el hidrógeno verde se está convirtiendo en la fuente de energía que puede contribuir a descarbonizar el planeta más rápido.

Muchos están familiarizados con las energías eólica y solar, pero pocos conocen en profundidad el hidrógeno, explica Alicia Taylor, quien gestiona inversiones en infraestructura y energía en el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID).

Insect farming startups were flying high last month as the EU gave the regulatory go-ahead for insects to be used as food for pigs and poultry, unlocking a huge potential market in animal feed. Many expect UK regulators, which permit insects only as pet and fish feed, to follow suit.

The timing is good for Entocycle, Britain’s biggest startup in the sector. It recently converted its London research lab into its first commercial site to start producing grub for the pet industry. It is raising a £22m Series A, of which £5.2m is already secured. And early next year, it will start building a large-scale farm in Scotland to sell insects to industrial animal feed producers in large quantities.

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) isn’t particularly glamorous, sometimes described as wasp-like without the sting. But whole factories are being built around the insect to produce a protein-rich feed additive for farm-raised animals and fish.

The latest one, the world’s biggest, will rise in central Illinois adjacent to Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.’s corn-processing complex in Decatur. The owner/operator will be InnovaFeed, a French biotech company that already has two factories devoted to black soldier flies and projects 10 others by 2030.

The Illinois plant will be Innova’s first venture outside France. There, it will grow and harvest black soldier fly larvae to produce dry feed additive, oil additive, and frass, or fly waste, used as a soil fertilizer.
