VIDEO INTERVIEW: Talking stakeholder collaboration and technological advancements in animal agriculture with Stephen Cisneros from TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE RESEARCH
Ÿnsect, a French insect-farming pioneer, has been ordered into judicial liquidation due to its inability to secure necessary funding, resulting in the shutdown of its large-scale operations. Despite raising over €600 million, its capital-intensive model was unsustainable; however, a smaller venture focusing on fertilisers from insect by-products will continue. Experts like Dr Geoffrey Knott highlight Ÿnsect's collapse as a lesson in scalability and market readiness rather than a sector-wide failure, emphasizing the potential for both protein and fertiliser roles in a mature market. The UK sector is seen as promising, with a more measured growth approach and strong investor interest, indicating a future that still includes insect-based ingredients for human consumption.
Australian ag tech company Number 8 Bio has secured $11 million Series A funding to accelerate the commercialisation of its methane-reducing livestock feed product, BetterFeed
