Agronutris is the first French biotech company dedicated to the development of the insect rearing industry as an answer to the feed challenges of tomorrow. We believe that insects are an innovative and sustainable solution to face the environmental, social and societal issues of our society.
Our mission is to feed and preserve the world.
Insects are able to turn by-products from the agro industry into valuable ingredients for the feed market, contributing in that way to the development of a circular economy. Moreover, while the growing world population needs an increasing level of proteins, generating the overuse of the existing sources, insects appear as a sustainable protein source that could fill the widening protein gap.
Engaged in a human approach of our company, we want to act together with our partners and clients as a key player in the implementation of a sustainable and fair food industry. Our team, made up of experts in entomology and specialists of the agro business industry, is strongly engaged in order to provide high quality products for the aquaculture and pet food markets.
