Breeding insects for a healthy and sustainable animal feed.
A circular economy with insects
1
We collect vegetable production waste
2
We sanitise it and transfer it to the Bioconverter
3
We place the newly hatched larvae into the Bioconverter
4
We separate mature larvae from the residual substrate
5
We convert them into protein meal and animal feed
6
Initiating a virtuous circuit that respects the life cycle of insects…
7
...Highly sustainable, it significantly reduces CO2 emissions
The Bugsfarm Project
Value for the territory
A new science
Why bugs?
Agrifood companies will be able to prove their focus on sustainability by utilising their residues as part of an innovative supply chain, developed in alliance with leading agricultural entrepreneurs for the creation of new «circular» products.

The practice of using insects in the bioconversion of organic residues generated in agrifood production and distribution chains is strongly supported and regulated by the European Commission.
The environmental value of insect farming is attested by numerous studies.

Join our NetworkSalvaging nutrients that otherwise would end up as waste is a substantial contribution by the agricultural system to the challenges of the ecological transformation. Opening a Bugsfarm, an insect farm, is our proposal to the best Italian and European farming enterprises.
