Did you know that it takes thousands of wild-caught fish to raise 1 kilogram of farmed fish? INSEACT solves this and other environmental problems through the power of insects.
INSEACT is an alternative protein start-up headquartered in Singapore and backed by reputable investors such as the Asian Development Bank. The way we produce food today will not support the population of tomorrow, and we believe there is a better way. INSEACT exists to close the circular economy loop by harnessing insect protein as a solution to the protein-population gap.
