Insectus
The project Insectus is part of the non-profit association Enactus Hannover e.V. of the Leibniz University Hanover.
We are a team of voluntary students, who wants to change the world in small ways together with our cooperation partners. Currently, we are working actively in Togo and Uganda.
Our aim
800 million people worldwide suffer from the consequences of malnutrition. This number will increase due to climate change [FAO 2017].
With our project, we want to contribute to a nutrient-rich basic food supply. In order to do so, we are building insect farms to breed the Black Soldier Fly. By involving our local farmers in the breeding process, we ensure that our farmers are able to run the farm sustainably by themselves. The product, our manufactured protein- and nutrient-rich larvae powder from our breed, can be sold at affordable prices.
Our aim is clear: A nutrient-rich basic sustenance for everyone, regardless of their income situation.
