项目摘要

Oko Box is a new food production system using a novel cricket habitat and harvesting process which provides local, sustainable, food-grade protein very cost-effectively.This project will help produce Oko's first main product, Oko Protein Powder with two valuable by-products - Omega oils, and frass (insect manure).The Oko Box concept has been prototyped and tested and has patents pending. The proposed scope of this project is the Oko Box's industrial design for ease of manufacture, manufacture of the first 2 Oko Boxes and prove the new business model to enable external investment to scale nationally and internationally.The novel design of the Oko Box is optimised to reduce the cost of labour and energy compared to the traditional methods and is deployed in a way that requires significantly less capital than the centralised industrial approaches adopted by others that have recently attracted sizeable investment.Companies have shown that demand exists and the market is proven. A wide spectrum of companies, large and small, have produced cricket protein products. Whilst various brands have enjoyed great success in generating sales, consistency of affordable supply of food grade crickets has restricted their growth.Once processes have been developed on a commercial level, our model will allow for copy and paste scaling, demonstrating to the world a better means of protein production globally.

Oko Box是一种新的食品生产系统，采用了一种新颖的蟋蟀栖息地和收获过程，提供本地，可持续，食品级蛋白质非常具有成本效益。该项目将帮助生产Oko的第一个主要产品，Oko蛋白粉与两个有价值的副产品-欧米茄油和粪便（昆虫粪便）。Oko Box概念已经原型和测试，并正在申请专利。该项目的拟议范围是Oko Box的工业设计，以便于制造，制造首批2个Oko Box，并证明新的商业模式，使外部投资能够在国内和国际上扩大规模。Oko Box的新颖设计经过优化，与传统方法相比，降低了劳动力和能源成本，并且部署方式比集中式部署方式需要更少的资金。其他国家采用的工业方法最近吸引了大量投资，各公司已表明需求存在，市场已得到证实。各种各样的公司，无论大小，都生产了蟋蟀蛋白产品。虽然各个品牌在创造销售方面取得了巨大的成功，但食品级蟋蟀供应的稳定性限制了他们的增长。一旦在商业层面上开发了工艺，我们的模型将允许复制和粘贴缩放，向世界展示全球蛋白质生产的更好方法。
