Insect Meat
The Future of Food.
WHAT WE DO
We're on a mission to make insects a palatable food source
The Problem, Our Solution
Meat consumption is extremely, environmentally costly. Currently, livestock production accounts for 70% of commercial agricultural land and generates nearly one fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases. Due to the growing population of developing countries, which results in a higher global demand for meat, current agricultural patterns are unsustainable. Compared to the 1 gram of beef that is produced for every 10 grams of feed, 9 grams of insect meat can be produced. Insects also require significantly less land to farm raise,generate fewer greenhouse gases, and are nutritionally comprable to traditional meat sources. We are working to manufacture paltable insect meat by using High Pressure Processing technology to remove the exterior of the insect including its shell and wings. Similar to removing the beak and feathers of a chicken, this will make insect meat more palatable. Economical, Sustainable, and not to mention Tasty.
