Innovafeed

[Lookback] 🦟The insect sector is one of the most innovative and promising fields, pushing boundaries in sustainability and food security. 🌎 At Innovafeed, we are proud to collaborate with leading universities and research institutes like Wageningen University & Research, renowned for its expertise in insects and “healthy food and living environments,” with whom we have multiple ongoing projects advancing the role of insect protein in transforming food systems. 🔎Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting 25 Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Master’s students, along with two professors from Wageningen, on their visit to France. The group toured various facilities, including our Gouzeaucourt site (Région Hauts-de-France), now our Innovation and Technological Research Hub. 🙌We are happy to introduce students less familiar with the insect industry to this future-forward sector, and it was exciting to hear their feedback: the visit was truly eye-opening. The next generation is well-prepared to help “feed tomorrow’s world”! Emmanuel Mernier I Marion Lica I Mathieu Vanderstraete I Myriam M. I Gert van Leeuwen #Innovation #InsectScience #TechForImpact

[SAVE THE DATE] ✨ We’re excited to announce that Innovafeed will be participating in this year’s EuroTier, the world’s leading trade fair dedicated to innovations in the breeding and keeping of farm animals. 🌍 The 2024 theme, “we innovate animal farming,” will showcase new strategies and technologies aimed at improving the efficiency, sustainability, and ethical standards of animal farming. 🌎 As part of our commitment to disruptive technology and positive change for the planet, we’re proud to present our Black Soldier Fly Oil (Hermetia illucens) — a natural source of fatty acids for animal nutrition. 🔎Our insect oil provides essential nutrients, such as lauric acid, beneficial for health and growth while boasting the lowest environmental impact available on the market. ✔ High Performance: Developed through an innovative mechanical process that requires no solvents, ensuring complete protein separation. ✔ Sustainable: A recent Life Cycle Analysis by Quantis highlights our low carbon footprint and positive impact on biodiversity. ✔ Natural: Our product reintegrates insects into food chains, acting as natural recyclers and offering an alternative to imported vegetable oils and fats. 👉Join us at EuroTier from November 12-15 to meet our Product Manager specializing in Insect Oil, Hugo Paysan-Mayet, who will be happy to discuss how Innovafeed’s solutions can maximize animal performance and sustainability! #InsectOil #TechForImpact #AnimalFarming
