On January 9th, Vassilis Daskalos, a representative of Duynie Group, visited the facilities of the Laboratory of Entomology and Agricultural Zoology (Stored-Product and Edible Insects Lab-UTH) at the University of Thessaly. Vasilis was introduced to the emerging sector of insect farming through the Cipromed Project. During his visit, he engaged with our team—Professor Christos Athanassiou, Georgia V. Baliota, and Sofronios Zafeiriadis—to explore ways companies like Duynie can integrate the knowledge and data generated by Cipromed Project into their operations at a local level in Greece.   🧩 Discussions like this are essential at the local level, as they help raise awareness about the newly emerging sector of insect farming within the Greek community. This innovative field holds significant potential for sustainable agricultural practices, yet it remains relatively unknown to many! By fostering dialogue between industry professionals and research institutions, we can bridge this knowledge gap, promote the benefits of insect farming, and encourage its adoption as a viable solution for circular economy practices in Greece.

In 2024, we were able to 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝟯𝟬% (by 40% in the growing phase) and integrate more than 10 additional families of ingredients. We further improved our larvae feed recipe and optimised our 𝗙𝗖𝗥 (Food Conversion Ratio, which means nutrient use is optimised during digestion) by 𝟭𝟱% and reduce our sourcing price ratio. nextProtein has developed new recipes that are designed to meet the needs of BSF, while diversifying its sourcing to include new categories of wastes from the food industry. This not only means that producing our ingredients makes them the most price competitive out there, but it also means that we are able to convert and reintegrate food waste into the food value chain! 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻’𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 and 2024 proved to be an important year with significant improvements on this front !
