According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), livestock supply chain accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with feed production being a significant contributor to this total. 🌍 In contrast, insects are incredibly efficient at converting organic waste into protein, requiring far less land, water, and energy. Insect farming can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of animal feed by transforming plant-based materials into high-quality protein with remarkable efficiency. By using insects as a feed ingredient, we can provide our pets with high-quality, sustainable ingredients that meet their nutritional needs. It would also make possible the use of insect-based proteins to sustainably feed fish, pigs, and poultry in Europe, further reducing the environmental impact of these fields. At Ÿnsect, with Sprÿng, we are helping to build a greener, more sustainable food system for both animals and the planet. Join us in revolutionizing animal nutrition and contributing to a more sustainable food production future! 🌍🐾 #Sustainability #InsectFarming #AnimalFeed #CircularEconomy #GreenTech #SustainableFood #CarbonFootprint #Innovation #Ynsect

🌍 Yesterday, we celebrated World Climate Day — a powerful reminder that tackling climate change requires action from all of us, at every level. Every gesture counts: turning off unused lights, choosing local and seasonal products, reducing single-use plastics… These small, daily habits can create a ripple effect of positive change and inspire others to do the same. But while individual actions are essential, addressing the climate crisis also demands innovative solutions that rethink how we use our planet’s resources. At Ÿnsect, we’re proud to lead the way by: 🔸 Producing low-carbon proteins from insects, which require far less land, water, and energy than traditional livestock farming. 🔸 Creating natural fertilizers that restore soil health, promote biodiversity, and fight soil degradation. 🔸 Embracing circular economy practices, transforming waste into resources to reduce our environmental footprint. Through these sustainable innovations, we’re making food production more climate-friendly and paving the way for a healthier future. Together, through small, meaningful gestures and large-scale change, we can protect our ecosystems and create a sustainable world. Let’s keep exploring innovative ways to protect our planet together. What solutions inspire you? 🌱💡 #WorldClimateDay #ClimateAction #Sustainability #YnsectInnovation

Today, we celebrate World Soil Day, a moment to recognize the vital role that healthy soils play in sustaining life on Earth. From growing the food we eat to regulating the planet's climate, soil is at the core of our ecosystems. Yet, according to the United Nations, 33% of global soil is already degraded, threatening our ability to meet future food and environmental needs. At Ÿnsect, we’re tackling this challenge head-on with innovative solutions. Our insect-based fertilizer offers a sustainable, effective way to restore and maintain soil health: 🌱 Rich in organic matter: Our fertilizer enhances soil fertility and structure, helping degraded soils recover naturally. 💡 Balanced nutrition (NPK 4-3-2): A natural alternative that matches the efficiency of mineral fertilizers while respecting the environment. 🌸 Improved plant health: Ornamental plants bloom better and resist summer drought. 🥗 Stronger crops: For lettuces and potatoes, we see increased disease resistance and biomass. 🌍 Eco-friendly: Dry, odorless, and sustainable—ideal for improving both home gardens and large-scale agriculture. Why does this matter? Because protecting soils means protecting our future. Through innovative approaches, we can restore soil health, support biodiversity, and promote a resilient, sustainable food system. 💬 How do you see innovation shaping the future of agriculture and soil health?

From Taboo to Trend? Insect Eating in Western Countries 🐜🍽️ Not so long ago, the idea of eating insects in Europe seemed almost unthinkable. But times are changing. Insects’ consumption as food used to spark more hesitation than interest. But today, while still a niche market, insect consumption has gained ground, with products like protein bars and snacks hitting supermarket shelves across Europe. What’s Driving This Shift? 🌍 Sustainability: Insects are efficient to farm—using 40 times less land, using 30 times less water and emitting 40 times less CO2 than traditional livestock. Health Benefits: Packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, insects are being recognized as highly digestible. In fact, 60% of sportsmen and women in Eastern Europe say they are ready to incorporate insects into their diet since they offer benefits similar to those of milk, and even cholesterol reduction, but they also have additional health benefits, including better digestibility and a nutritional profile rich in unsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients. These characteristics can contribute to better cardiovascular health. Taste: Unlike what one might think, insect protein has a neutral taste and can effortlessly blend into a rich and varied diet. In fact, 96% of the participants in a 2022 OnePoll survey who tasted insect protein said it has a great flavor, and they would repeat the experience. An average of 75% would like to see it in more food products. The Future of Insect Consumption: So, will insect-based meals become as common as burgers or pasta in Europe and the U.S.? While cultural shifts take time, the trajectory suggests a growing acceptance. In 10 years, insects might not just be an eco-friendly choice but a mainstream option. What do you think—would you add insects to your plate? Let us know! 🐛 #FoodInnovation #InsectFarming #Sustainability #FutureOfFood

Did you take a guess in our poll? Here’s the big reveal! 🤔 The answer is… the tomato 🍅! As hard to believe as it can seem, tomatoes, which are now used every day in a lot of European kitchens, were once considered a Novel Food. When they arrived in Europe in the late 16th century, they sparked curiosity and even suspicion. Can you imagine life without tomato sauce today? But what exactly is a Novel Food? 🌱 This term refers to foods or ingredients that didn’t have a significant history of consumption in the EU before May 1997. It includes innovations like basil seeds, insect proteins, or certain oils. Before being sold, these products must undergo a rigorous safety assessment to ensure they’re safe for consumption. At Ÿnsect, we’re working to make tomorrow’s foods—like insect-based proteins—accessible, sustainable, and natural. Just as tomatoes became a staple food over time, we believe innovative food solutions can also find their place on our plates. 🐛🌍 What do you think—are you ready to welcome the foods of the future like insect proteins into your kitchen? #Ÿnsect #Sustainability #FoodInnovation #FutureOfFood

Today, let’s test your food history knowledge with a poll! 🧐 It’s fascinating to think that some of the ingredients we now use daily were once unfamiliar and even considered exotic. These ingredients, known as Novel Foods, refer to foods or ingredients without a significant history of consumption in the EU before May 1997. Today, these foods must go through strict approval processes to ensure they are safe for us. Vote now and share your thoughts in the comments! 🗳️ Stay tuned for the answer in a few days… #FoodInnovation #Sustainability #Ÿnsect #FutureOfFood

This week, we celebrate the European Week for Waste Reduction. It’s the perfect time to highlight how innovation can turn challenges into opportunities. At Ÿnsect, we are committed to transforming waste into valuable resources, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy. 🔹 How does Ÿnsect reduce waste? Transforming Agricultural by-product: At Ÿnsect, we turn agricultural and organic by-products [EB1] into valuable resources by feeding them to our insects. Through this process, we transform materials into high-quality insect proteins, oil, and organic fertilizer, all while minimizing waste. Zero-Waste Production: Our goal is to create a zero-waste production process. Every part of our production, from insect proteins to oil and frass, is fully utilized in sustainable solutions for food, feed, and agriculture, minimizing waste at every stage. Circular Innovation: Our facilities are designed with circular economy principles in mind, creating a closed-loop system where waste becomes the starting point for new value. At Ÿnsect, we see waste as an opportunity to create value. Our aim is to reduce CO2 emissions, optimize water usage, and promote a green economy—while producing high-value products that support sustainability. 🌱 How can we collectively turn waste into opportunity?
