Beta Buzz #5 | The 'Beyond Protein' Edit 👇👇 https://lnkd.in/etppsqrm 🤝 We’re thrilled to unveil the fifth edition of Beta Buzz, where we dive deep into the future of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) industry. In this special issue, we explore how BSF larvae are being used for much more than just protein production. 🌐 While early pioneers in our industry focused on competing with traditional fishmeal, today’s landscape is evolving rapidly. Innovative business models and technologies are emerging, from biofuel production to waste processing solutions, paving the way for BSF producers to move beyond protein. 📖 In this issue, you’ll find exciting insights, like BugEra ’s development of high-fat larvae for biofuel on page 41, and GOTERRA’s groundbreaking work in offering waste processing services to a diverse range of industries on page 23. 🪰 True to our mission of supporting newcomers in the insect farming industry, this edition also includes valuable contributions from key equipment suppliers, offering practical advice and showcasing the tools that can help you take the leap into insect farming. 👍 We believe this is a must-read for anyone in the insect farming community, and we hope you enjoy this latest issue as much as we enjoyed creating it! 👏 A special thanks to all our contributors for making 'Beta Buzz #5 | The Beyond Protein Edit' possible: #SPRAgTech , Beekenkamp Verpakkingen B.V., REINARTZ – the origin of resources, Alvibra A/S – your specialist in vibration technology, Bühler Group, Viscon Group Insect Technology, Royal Dutch Kusters Engineering, #UKEIA, BugEra , Nutrition Technologies, GOTERRA, Nick Rousseau, David Allan. #betabuzz #betabuzz5 #insectfarming #insectfarmingpublication #BSF

Beta Bugs headed off to #ClimateWeekNYC 2024 as part of the Scottish Cohort with Scottish Development International. 🐟🦟The production of soy meal and fishmeal is the basis of the global agri-food industry as both are used to feed fish and livestock. This comes with negative environmental outcomes including a high carbon footprint, biodiversity loss, and overfishing. 🤝John Hunt, Corporate Strategic & Development at Beta Bugs spoke about how insect farming is part of the solution, providing a protein alternative to environmentally damaging soy and fishmeal production. #ClimateWeekNYC #CleanTech #ClimateTech Scottish Enterprise
