The insect protein industry is moving away from vertical integration as companies realize this approach is not scalable, but the biggest barrier to growth is securing sustainable feedstock for larvae, says Israel’s FreezeM.
Larvae such as those of the black solider fly (BSF) can form a key link in circular agriculture. They grow well on unused waste streams such as catering waste or pig manure, according to findings of research done at Wageningen Livestock Research.
