Using genetic engineering, BugEra improves the natural traits of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) to augment biomanufacturing, enables the expansion of the BSF market to novel applications and biomaterials, based on innovative circular-economy principles.
The global climate crisis, together with the growing human population presents an existential threat that has never been encountered before. Transitioning to a circular bio-economy with proper waste-management systems plays an essential role in overcoming these challenges. Expanding dynamic insect farming can potentially provide efficient nutrient recovery from diverse organic-waste streams and decrease greenhouse emissions (GHG).
The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) – our hero, is a harmless fly and is the leading species in the insect farming industry because of its unique ability to upcycle organic waste from almost any origin into high-quality protein and oil sold for farm animals, aquaculture, and pet feed.
