Our vision is to restore the natural world by revolutionising the way we feed animals

Our mission

Our mission is to accelerate a global transition to sustainable protein using insects, innovation and technology.

The climate emergency is the greatest crisis that humanity has ever faced. Agriculture is a major part of the problem, generating 19–29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, ⅓ of food produced globally is either lost or wasted. Raising animals and creating the protein-rich feed they eat requires significant natural resources, contributing to deforestation, overfishing and biodiversity loss. Insects play a vital role in the natural food chain both as food for animals and as decomposers of waste, and yet are practically absent from the industrialised food system. Entocycle was launched in 2017 to accelerate a global transition to sustainable protein using insects, innovation and technology. Because nature doesn't believe in waste, and neither do we.

“Deforestation, the dredging of our oceans... there was a moment when I had to do something.”
