Winsect is a mealworm farm where we convert waste streams into insect protein and produce organic fertilizers. 

This is animal agriculture with no waste and no emissions.

Locally farmed
insect protein,
zero emissions

Insect production is regarded as a more sustainable way of producing protein, due to its low emissions, low land requirements, feed conversions efficiency and excellent possiblities for circular and vertical farming.

Our first farm has been developed breeding mealworms on conveyor belts with an automatic feeding system.

Features:
no crates
no robots
low on labour costs
low on production costs

Our farming system will solve the problem of high production costs for mealworms, which will make mealworm production economical and mealworm products accessable for new markets.

The size of the farm is ideal for a regional / local protein production with the use of local waste streams.
