Alternative proteins from insects

Small solutions for a big challenge

Producing affordable, safe and nutritious feed and food for a rapidly expanding world population is an ever-more critical challenge. Edible insects, or insect-derived protein in particular, could help to close the protein gap as well as food production cycles.

GEA expertise for insects processing includes everything from the raised insect to protein powder and even further to processed food.
