🌍 The global food system is responsible for 26% of all greenhouse gas emissions—what if we could transform the way we produce food? As we mark the European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW), Ynsect is proud to lead the conversation on how the agri-food industry can change. Our circular economy solutions allows us to reduce emissions, conserve land, and cut waste, while producing sustainable protein sources. With 40x fewer CO2 emissions than traditional protein sources and 98% less land use, we’re demonstrating that responsible production can meet global needs without compromising our planet. During the ESDW, it’s time to think about how every step in the food chain can contribute to a more sustainable future. What actions can we all take to support this movement?

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer: Ÿnsect’s commitment to a sustainable future. 🌍 On the occasion of the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to developing sustainable nutritional solutions that promote environmental protection. The planet is facing a major challenge: agriculture, forestry, and land use account for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions (World Bank). In this context, food production will need to become more efficient while respecting the limits of our natural resources. This is where Ÿnsect plays a key role. Our insect-based protein production methods allow: 🔹 40x less CO2 emissions: With agrifood systems responsible for 31% of global emissions (FAO), reducing greenhouse gases through our methods helps prevent stratospheric temperature changes that can accelerate ozone depletion.   🔹 30x less water usage: Agriculture consumes about 70% of the world’s freshwater (FAO). By employing vertical farming, we drastically lower the environmental strain from water-intensive practices, contributing to the preservation of the ozone layer.   🔹 40x less land required: Minimizing land use significantly reduces deforestation, a major factor in carbon emissions. Currently, agricultural deforestation contributes heavily to climate change, but preserving each hectare of forest can absorb up to 9.5 tons of CO2 annually (FAO). How does this protect the ozone layer? 🤔 Every resource we save helps to reduce the pressures on our planet. By using less land, conserving water and limiting greenhouse gas emissions, we contribute to stabilizing the climate and providing the ozone layer with the conditions necessary to restore itself. Today, we invite you to explore how, together, we can preserve our atmosphere for future generations.

In 2020, we broke ground in Amiens to begin construction on our new farm, the largest of its kind. Four years later, it is now complete and stands as the crown jewel of our industrial model. ŸnFarm reflects our commitment to combining nature with industry to reinvent the food chain with natural, healthy, and sustainable products derived from insect farming. But do you know why we chose to settle in the Hauts-de-France region, particularly in the suburbs of Amiens? 1. ⚙ The Hauts-de-France is a land of expertise: first, industrial expertise, which we have benefited from by surrounding ourselves with collaborators who have worked in the region's largest industries; but also unmatched agricultural know-how. We benefit from proximity to farmers, allowing us to purchase cereal by-products to feed our insects. 2. 📍 An ideal geographical location: the Hauts-de-France is a gateway to the rest of Europe. The region's proximity to our neighboring countries and the rest of Europe facilitates trade with our clients. 3. 🤝 Local support: by establishing ourselves in the Amiens region, we have also benefited from special support from local partners, who are well-versed in the sector and the markets. All these reasons make Amiens an ideal location for our operations: close to farmers, local partners, and our clients! #ynsect #sustainability #verticalfarming #insect #tech #agtech #frenchtech #alternativeproteins

Ÿnsect Summer Recap 2024 #6 This week in our Ÿnsect Summer Recap 2024, we’re spotlighting a groundbreaking achievement in the field of genetics that’s setting new standards in the insect farming industry! 🧬 Our genetics team has made history by publishing the first-ever scientific paper reporting pedigree heritability estimates for Tenebrio Molitor using the BLUP methodology. This milestone is revolutionizing the way we approach industrial insect farming. Over the past three years, our dedicated researchers have developed cutting-edge tools and conducted deep genetic studies to boost the efficiency of our farms. By establishing a reference population, we've been able to uncover phenotypic variability and estimate heritability for a wide range of traits. 🔬 This breakthrough will not only optimize our farming practices but also contribute to the entire sector's advancement, paving the way for more sustainable and efficient livestock management. We’re incredibly proud to share this knowledge with the global scientific community and to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in insect farming. 👉 Curious to learn more?

👀 Have you noticed how perceptions around agricultural by-products are evolving? Years ago, agricultural residues, also known as co-products, were underutilized or even considered mere waste to be disposed of. To combat waste, most of these by-products, still often rich in nutrients, can be revalorized — a solution that addresses both societal and environmental challenges. At Ynsect, we’ve joined the movement. By feeding our insects with these by-products, we transform what was once considered waste into high-quality proteins and natural fertilizers. This process not only reduces waste but also creates a sustainable value chain. 🌱 Let us know in the comments what you think and how you envision the future of agriculture! 💬 #agriculture #sustainability #circularmodel #bioconversion #agtech #industry #ynsect #insect #farming

Ÿnsect Summer Recap 2024 #5 We’re thrilled to continue our Ÿnsect Summer Recap 2024 series with a major milestone for our pet food brand, Sprÿng! 🐾 After a rigorous 2-year authorization process, we secured the first-ever authorization from the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) for the commercialization of defatted mealworm proteins (Protein70) for dog nutrition in the United States. This landmark achievement paves the way for Sprÿng’s expansion in the American pet food market, which was valued at over $42 billion in 2022. 🐶 This authorization was granted based on a comprehensive scientific dossier, including a 6-month trial introducing Protein70 into the diet of dogs. The results demonstrated both the safety of the product and its nutritional benefits as a substitute for commonly used animal proteins. We are incredibly proud of our team and partners for making this possible. This achievement marks a significant step forward for Ÿnsect, Sprÿng, and the entire insect protein industry! 🔎 You want to know more about our pet food brand Sprÿng?
