Innovative Insect Farming for Sustainable Feed Solutions

CHALLENGES WE ARE SOLVING

Our current food production system is wasteful, with one-third of all food lost, much of it during processing and production. Agriculture contributes 24% of global emissions, with livestock alone at 14.5%. Every year, 12 million hect. of forests are cleared, causing accelerating climate change, harming biodiversity, and rapidly depleting resources.

With ecosystems degrading, water and fertile soil are disappearing fast. Agriculture uses 70% of the world’s freshwater, yet over 2 billion people face shortages. Meanwhile, 33% of global soils are degraded, pushing traditional farming to its limits. If this continues, sustaining food production will be harder, making sustainable solutions urgent.

By 2050, food demand will surge by 70%, but current farming systems are failing to keep up. With natural resources are depleting, sustaining food production is becoming harder. At the same time, rising pressure on protein sources threatens global food and feed security. Without innovative, sustainable solutions, the future of food production remains at risk.

Our Mission

At Proteinext India, we transform agri-waste into high-quality insect-based nutrients like proteins and oils for feed and food, ensuring nothing is wasted. By following a circular economy model, we maximize resource efficiency. Even our by-products are converted into biofertilizers, reducing reliance on chemicals and lowering our carbon footprint. Through this zero-waste approach, we are shaping a sustainable, resilient future for food, feed and agriculture.

The gap between agricultural waste and sustainable nutrition is widening, but we are closing it

Our Approach

We rely on mealworm insects to convert agri-waste into high-value nutrition. These tiny powerhouses, rich in proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, offer a sustainable alternative for food and feed. These insects support both ecosystems and health, improving cholesterol, microbiota, and overall nutrition. The transformation doesn’t stop there. Even their waste is repurposed, creating organic biofertilizers enriched with chitin and beneficial microbes. From waste to wealth, we maximize every resource, ensuring a greener future for all.

Mealworms, nature's solution for a sustainable nutrition

WHY MEALWORMS ?

At Proteinext India, we harness mealworms as a sustainable, nutrient-rich protein source. With 55% protein by dry weight, they offer a powerful alternative to traditional proteins. Rich in omega-3, omega-6, iron, zinc, and essential vitamins (B2, B12, A, E, K), mealworms support heart health, brain function, and overall nutrition. Recognized as novel human food, they provide a high-quality, eco-friendly solution for food and feed.

Mealworm farming is 13 times more land-efficient and 7 times more water-efficient than cattle farming, with a 6 times higher feed conversion ratio. Unlike regular livestock, where only 40-60% is edible, mealworms provide 98% edible mass, making them a highly efficient protein source. At Proteinext India, we farm mealworms on agri-waste, ensuring minimal waste and maximum resource utilization, driving the low-impact, sustainable future.

Mealworms power a wide range of industries, from human food and animal feed to organic fertilizers. Their by-products, like chitin, are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable materials. At Proteinext India, we optimize mealworm farming with precision feeding and automation, making it cost-effective, scalable, and highly sustainable, ensuring a circular economy that benefits both people and the planet.
