DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
INSECTFLUX is an e-marketplace that connects companies that generate organic products and waste with the insect sector, aiming to digitize and foster the parallel development of codependent industries. The solution encourages the use of organic products and wastes as insect feed through the production of insect protein and rich organic fertilizer (frass). Insectflux is also a marketplace for the trade of insect-based products and organic products used as insect feed, as well as industrial services and equipment.
