Solution: nextProtein is specialised in the breeding and processing of insects for animal feeding (aquaculture in particular). Feeding farmed fishes with insect meal instead of fishmeal has a direct impact on the preservation of the ocean fish stocks A ton of insect meal fed to farmed fishes would save three tons of forage fish. More prosaically, every ton of product that we sell to fish farmers contributes to reducing the depletion of forage fish stocks by three tons.

 

Why is innovation to transform ocean health important to you: “Ocean health and public as well as economic health are deeply intertwined. We need to make sure that the tremendous growth of the world population which results in a huge protein demand does not eradicate fish species, nor leave no time for fish stocks to rebuild.”- Laurence De Tinguy, Legal Counsel.
