What are Hypoallergenic Proteins for Insect-based Pet Food
Pet food can cause allergies because some proteins in pet food can be considered allergens. Proteins are often the main cause of food...
Kinsect is a pioneering startup
to accelerate the advent
of sustainable proteins
by developing insect mass production
Therefore, alternative methods of producing protein are required that can meet these rising global demands, whilst also reducing environmental impact through more sustainable production systems and practices.
Insects are small, they need little space, hardly any food – and they multiply rapidly. In addition,
their food chain does not affect the diet of us humans, in contrast to conventional livestock.
From a sustainability standpoint, this makes them unrivaled economically, socially and ecologically.
Kinsect designs and develops highly efficient plants of insect farming at industrial scale for animal feed. This model is based on a circular and zero-waste logic.
Food systems will face numerous challenges in coming years. The future of food will undoubtedly focus on providing resilient and sustainable food systems, combining both environmental positive impact with security for the consumer.
