Feed giant Cargill and InnovaFeed said Monday they are partnering to market fish feed that includes insect protein, in an effort to support the growth of sustainable aquaculture.
InnovaFeed's "circular economy" business approach brings added sustainability benefits as the company uses co-products from the agriculture production of starch and sugar to feed black soldier fly larvae known as Hermetia illucens. Once the larvae reach a certain stage, protein and oil are extracted from the larvae, to be used in feed for pets, aquaculture species and some animals.
