FOOD FOR THE FUTURE

F4F transforms organic waste into products with a high nutritional level for feeding birds, mammals, and fish. It turns black soldier fly into protein meal for animal nutrition in the salmon, poultry, swine, and pet industries. Along with animal feed, the startup says its insect farming technology holds promise in the human food and cosmetics industries as well, and that its protein is significantly less water-intensive and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional protein sources. It also makes an organic fertilizer byproduct at its industrial plant in Chile’s Maule region.
