Our Partnerships for Innovation and Sustainability

At Acrididea, we understand that collaboration is key to advancing towards more sustainable food solutions. That's why we've established strategic partnerships with leading research institutions to co-develop and promote innovative, environmentally-friendly farming methods.

Academic Collaboration :

We work hand in hand with universities and research centers specializing in agroecology, biotechnology, and entomology. These collaborations allow us to :

  • Conduct Joint Research : We participate in joint research projects focused on optimizing breeding conditions, improving locust nutrition, and reducing the ecological impact of our operations.
  • Exchange Knowledge : Forums and workshops organized with our academic partners enable us to exchange knowledge and best practices in insect farming.
  • Train Our Team : Exchange and training programs provide our team with professional development opportunities and ensure that we remain at the forefront of technology and farming methods.

Open Innovation :

We believe in open innovation and collaborate with startups, incubators, and innovation centers to explore new ideas and technologies. These partnerships help us to :

  • Develop New Technologies : By collaborating with technological startups, we co-develop innovative solutions for farming automation, climate control, and waste management.
  • Test and Validate New Approaches : Pilot projects allow us to test and validate the effectiveness of new farming and processing methods before deploying them on a larger scale.

Engagement with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) :

We also collaborate with NGOs focused on sustainability and food security to :

  • Promote Entomoculture : Together, we work to raise awareness about the benefits of insect farming and promote entomophagy as a sustainable food alternative.
  • Support Local Communities : In partnership with NGOs, we develop programs aimed at introducing sustainable locust farming methods to local communities, thereby contributing to their food security and economic development.

Innovation and Research

Research is at the core of our approach. In collaboration with experts in agroecology and entomoculture, we are experimenting with different breeding environments to identify conditions that promote not only rapid locust growth but also their well-being. We meticulously analyze data to refine our breeding methods, ensuring that each decision contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production.

Commitment to Sustainability

Our farm is designed to minimize environmental impact. We adopt practices such as reusing organic waste for locust feed and installing renewable energy systems to power our facilities. Every aspect of our farm aims to reduce our ecological footprint while producing nutritious and sustainable food.

Together Towards a Sustainable Future

Our collaborations with research institutions and industry partners play a crucial role in our mission to promote more sustainable and innovative agriculture. These partnerships allow us to remain at the forefront of insect farming while contributing to a more resilient and environmentally-friendly food ecosystem.
