01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

insectup aims in transforming the current agriculture to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture for the future development using Black soldier fly. Our core goal is to make to improve the larva ingredient and produce super fly who will be used to increase the quality of agricultural products Black soldier fly larvae, uses a good stream of organic waste, such as food and fruit waste from different sources such as residential, hotel & restaurants and uses them to feed the larvae, which after every 18 to 20 days the larvae turn to a high protein insect (more than 45%), and the waste is converted to a rich nutritious organic fertilizer with high NPK and micronutrients essential for plant boosted growth.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

1.Agricultural low productivity and high feed cost-The available chicken and fish feed cost, more than 70% cost of production in poultry farm, where the feed has also low quality problems, breading underweight chickens and fish, which is a draw back to farmers , especially the small scale poultry and fish farmers. we aimed in providing sufficient quality animal pro feed to these farmers, at affordable prices 30% less than the available costs, training farmers and supply with onsite engineering solution. 2.Waste and sludge problems and sustainable protein availability. Waste mismanagement in the streets and landfill increase the methane and carbon dioxide emission along with other gases which impacts the global climate, by increasing green house emissions , which lead to high temperature increase . Insectup aims to solve waste problem by providing insect technology to minimize the emissions.

02.12.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

InsectUp tackles sustainable consumption by utilizing organic waste streams from homes, hotels, and restaurants to feed their Black Soldier Fly larvae. These larvae then become a high-protein insect meal for livestock, reducing reliance on traditional, less sustainable feed sources. The process also creates a nutrient-rich fertilizer from the waste, minimizing reliance on chemical options and completing the circle by promoting healthy plant growth. This closed-loop system exemplifies the principles of a circular economy.
