At Bioflytech, we are participating, alongside 34 leading organisations from 14 countries, in , an ambitious European R&D project aimed at diversifying and making European more sustainable 🐛🐟🔬
● Our company is playing a key role in the technical development of the project. We are leading the rearing of black soldier fly larvae to produce insect biomass as a circular and sustainable protein ingredient for aquaculture feed.
● The aim is to reduce the current reliance on monocultures and products such as soya, fishmeal and fish oil.
● Our functional ingredients will be evaluated in feeding trials with various species — Atlantic salmon, sea bass, gilthead seabream and rabbitfish — to demonstrate their benefits in terms of growth, health, immunity and resilience, even under thermal stress conditions.
● Furthermore, the frass generated during rearing will be used as a substrate for microalgae cultivation, closing the cycle of an insect-algae biorefinery.
● Funded by the Horizon Europe programme, DIVERSIFY4Future is endorsed by the FAO and aligned with the European Green Deal and the Farm-to-Fork Strategy.
