The world's food production system is broken. 20% of the food the EU produces each year is lost or wasted costing €143bn in addition to the environmental consequences. At the same time, current food production and, in particular, animal proteins have become increasingly environmentally unsustainable. Wild caught fishmeal stocks have declined by over 30% in the last 15 years and 4m hectares of rainforest are culled annually in the production of soy. Put simply, today's proteins can't meet tomorrow's demand and the entire value chain of agri-food is seeking new, alternative protein sources to meet this increased demand.Entocycle are using insects to sustainably feed the world. The company's mission is to replace destructive and unsustainable forms of protein in animal, fish and ultimately, human diets.Entocycle is creating game-changing, disruptive technology by developing the world's first turnkey BSF breeding system designed for rapidly scaling insect protein producers around the world. With the help of IUK funding, Entocycle can become the industry leader in insect breeding technologies (creating jobs, wealth and a centre of excellence for insect protein technologies in the UK).

世界粮食生产体系已经崩溃。欧盟每年生产的食品中有20%被损失或浪费，除了环境后果外，还造成1430亿欧元的损失。与此同时，目前的粮食生产，特别是动物蛋白的生产，在环境上已变得越来越不可持续。在过去的15年里，野生捕捞的鱼粉库存下降了30%以上，每年有400万公顷的雨林被砍伐用于生产大豆。简而言之，今天的蛋白质无法满足未来的需求，整个农业食品价值链都在寻找新的替代蛋白质来源，以满足这一增长的需求。昆虫利用昆虫可持续地养活世界。公司的使命是取代动物、鱼类以及最终人类饮食中破坏性和不可持续的蛋白质形式。Entocycle正在通过开发世界上第一个交钥匙BSF育种系统来创造改变游戏规则的颠覆性技术，该系统专为全球快速扩大的昆虫蛋白质生产商设计。在IUK资金的帮助下，Entocycle可以成为昆虫育种技术的行业领导者（在英国创造就业机会，财富和昆虫蛋白质技术的卓越中心）。
