About
|
Our team is very passionate about solving two problems that the world and United Arab Emirates are facing now
|
Inefficient organic waste management
- Food waste is very high in affluent countries like United Arab Emirates and Singapore. For the UAE alone, 2,000 tonnes of food waste is generated
- Of all these food waste generated by the UAE, 40% of food waste ends up in landfills
Livestock and aquaculture protein demand crisis
- Currently, about 200 million tonnes of protein is needed as animal feed (poultry, aquaculture, livestock) globally, to feed the ever-growing human population
- There will be a 60% growth in demand from 2010 to 2050
- The current methods used to collect protein meal (soybean meal, fish meal, other plant protein sources) are very unsustainable and cannot support the human population in the long run
We provide a unique solution by using the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) to process organic waste to produce high quality protein for animal feed
- Circular economy creation: upcycling of organic waste back into food value chain
- Sustainable protein production: no need of fertile land and water, low output of greenhouse gases
- High quality protein feed produced locally in UAE: 2,000 tonnes of natural food source for animals
