Scaling UK Insect Protein Sector

项目摘要

The core aim of this project is to accelerate the UK's insect protein sector by addressing major barriers to scaling. AgriGrub, the UK's largest insect protein producer, will work alongside Beta Bugs, an insect breeder, and Aston University, supply chain analysis specialists, to address these challenges and build a roadmap for scaling insect production in the UK to meet demand.The major barriers addressed include the high cost of capital equipment, operational efficiency, insufficient supply chain segmentation and a lack of sector wide strategy.This project will result in the UK's first high-scale Black Soldier Fly larvae production facility, which will produce 550 tonnes of insect protein production annually, for use in net-zero-carbon livestock feed.AgriGrub and Beta Bugs will both produce new products which will allow UK farmers to quickly and cheaply start producing insect protein to meet huge demand. Aston University will analyse the whole insect protein supply chain and produce a roadmap to scale for the sector.The team intends to use the project outputs to scale their own operations, but to also make the outputs available to anyone who wants to start farming insects, and to collaborate with interested farmers.The project takes a systems approach; combining and validating individual innovations from each project partner to produce a unique and innovative combined offering to UK agriculture. The core aim is to to accelerate the insect protein sector in time to facilitate decarbonisation of UK food production by 2050\.

该项目的核心目标是通过解决扩大规模的主要障碍来加速英国昆虫蛋白部门的发展。英国最大的昆虫蛋白生产商AgriGrub将与昆虫育种商Beta Bugs和供应链分析专家阿斯顿大学合作，共同应对这些挑战，并制定在英国扩大昆虫生产以满足需求的路线图。解决的主要障碍包括资本设备成本高、运营效率高、供应链分割不足和缺乏全行业战略。该项目将建成英国首个大规模的黑兵蝇幼虫生产设施，每年将生产550吨昆虫蛋白，用于净零碳牲畜饲料。AgriGrub和Beta Bugs都将生产新产品，这将使英国农民能够快速、廉价地开始生产昆虫蛋白，以满足巨大的需求。阿斯顿大学将对整个昆虫蛋白供应链进行分析，并制定该行业的规模化路线图。该团队打算利用项目产出扩大自己的业务规模，但也要向任何想开始养殖昆虫的人提供这些产出，并与感兴趣的农民合作。该项目采用系统方法；结合并验证每个项目合作伙伴的个人创新，为英国农业提供独特而创新的综合服务。其核心目标是及时加速昆虫蛋白行业的发展，以促进到2050年英国粮食生产的脱碳。
