Ittinsect

In the past 30 years the global fish consumption has doubled leading to a significant depletion of marine biodiversity.

However, most of the fish catch is not used for human consumption, rather transformed in fishmeal for aquaculture. Ittinsect found a solution to overfishing, which granted them the winners place in the category “For a more sustainable future” of GoBeyond 2021.

Ittinsect develops and produces sustainable fish feed for aquaculture by combining the protein-rich aspect of fishmeal with circular economy: the product is based on insects, which feed on agricultural waste thus enriching their nutritional value.
