Problem
The current food chain struggles to meet the increasing demand for animal proteins as the world population grows. Traditional animal feed ingredients like fishmeal and soy meal contribute to food insecurity for low-income populations, declining fish stocks, and deforestation. There is a need for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives.
Solution
NeoFarm utilizes insect farming to convert organic waste into valuable resources. The company breeds Black Soldier Fly larvae in a vertical farm, feeding them with locally sourced organic waste. Through proprietary processes, the larvae are transformed into NeoMeal, a protein-rich powder for animal feed, NeoOil, a high-fat oil supplement, and NeoFertilizer, a natural fertilizer for plant growth. This circular model reduces waste management costs, improves local living conditions, and provides sustainable alternatives to traditional feed and fertilizer ingredients.
Target Audience
NeoFarm targets the aquaculture, pet food, and agriculture industries seeking sustainable and cost-effective animal feed and fertilizer solutions.
