Scaling Insect Production Successfully in Asia
SIFBI is grateful for the opportunity to be part of the fireside chat hosted by Enterprise Singapore (ESG), with support from Bühler Group. During the event, experts from industry and academia shared their thoughts on how to uncover practical solutions to scale up insect production successfully in Asia.
Dr Christian Hermansen, Senior Research Fellow from SIFBI’s Biotransformation Capability Group was invited as a speaker to share about SIFBI’s Microbial Bioconversion Platform technology. Here, microbes are used to convert food, agricultural and paper waste streams into single cell protein or insect protein as sustainable ingredients for aquafeed, as fish meal replacement. Due to the large-scale production of food waste and agri-food byproducts that are often not fully valorised, great opportunities abound for sustainability disruption by insect players to upcycle the waste into valuable products!
