| Loopworm | We at loopworm convert waste into protein, we farm 'Black Soldier Fly Larvae' on food waste to produce premium animal feed and pet food. Insects are natural food for fish, this is what nature feeds them, and insects are good for them. Research shows increase in productivity and growth rate for shrimps for insect meal based feed incomparison to conventional fish meal based feed. But the best thing about BSF larvae is that they can feed on any kind of food waste that would have otherwise landed up in a landfill. We therefore use BSF larvae to convert food waste into protein and thus close the circular loop. | $3.4M | Seed | Aug 24, 2022 |  |
