Making Insects Work for Better Food
Here at Protenga, we believe that innovation – especially in nutrition and sustainability, should be accessible; and that profit and purpose grow together. This is why we are re-thinking insect farming through our technology-driven circular ecosystem approach to democratise protein production in balance with nature.

Why Insects
Insects are nature`s primary recyclers. They break down waste biomass and in the process recapture and concentrate valuable nutrients such as proteins, oils, fiber and minerals. This also explains why insects form the foundation of the food chain. They are super nutritious and therefore in the natural diet of most farmed animals and pets. Leveraging insects` role in nature has the potential to break our produce-consume-dispose food system and create more circular and sustainable nutrient loops towards better, more natural and sustainable food.

Our Black Soldier Fly (BSF)
Based on our mission to make insects work towards more sustainable, circular food systems, Protenga is focused on building the most efficient systems and technology around the Black Soldier Fly. It is not a pest nor a vector, has the most versatile diet and is deliciously nutritious for animals and pets!
