Our vision is to restore the natural world by revolutionising the way we feed animals
Our mission
Our mission is to accelerate a global transition to sustainable protein using insects, innovation and technology.
The climate emergency is the greatest crisis that humanity has ever faced. Agriculture is a major part of the problem, generating 19–29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, ⅓ of food produced globally is either lost or wasted. Raising animals and creating the protein-rich feed they eat requires significant natural resources, contributing to deforestation, overfishing and biodiversity loss. Insects play a vital role in the natural food chain both as food for animals and as decomposers of waste, and yet are practically absent from the industrialised food system. Entocycle was launched in 2017 to accelerate a global transition to sustainable protein using insects, innovation and technology. Because nature doesn't believe in waste, and neither do we.
“I’m fortunate to have lived in some beautiful places in Southeast Asia, Central America and South America. But everywhere I went, I saw first-hand the devastation humans cause in order to feed ourselves. Soy used in animal feed is one of the biggest causes of deforestation, and using fishmeal means we are dredging our oceans empty of small pelagic fish, which are the base of the global food web. There’s a moment in your life when enough is enough, and you have to do something about it.”
Keiran Whitaker, founder and CEO
We’re Entocycle, a world-leading provider of insect farming technology. We plan, design and build modular insect farms that transform food waste into a local, low-carbon protein and an organic fertiliser to grow more plants.
