The North American Insect Center is designed as a research and demonstration center where customers can evaluate the performance of Black Soldier Fly varieties tailored to their specific byproduct streams.
The to-be-built facility in the U.S. will house an enclosed system designed to support all aspects of insect protein production including the breeding, incubating and hatching of insect larvae.
As concerns around the environmental impact of traditional protein sources like beef and poultry have grown, consumers and food manufacturers have turned to sustainable alternative protein sources like insect protein.
