CoRoSect project taking the stage at INSECTA 2022 conference

When knowledge is shared, it’s squared!

INSECTA 2022 conference took place in Giessen, Germany on 14-16th September. 7 keynote lectures, 2 company presentations, 48 oral presentations, 3 plenary and 12 parallel sessions, 40 posters and 11 company stands, once again, it served as a hub of knowledge where current advancements in the insect production, benefits and challenges of using insects for food, feed and non-food applications were shared.

One of the partners at the CoRoSect project, LUKE – Natural Resources Institute Finland, presented its work within the project framework entitled „Optimizing substrate for sustainable mass production of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae utilizing side streams. “ LUKE highlighted that various types of local side streams from food industry were currently utilized as substrate in black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) production. To meet high nutritional quality, the substrate was often designed by standardizing carbohydrate: protein ration. In order to ensure larvae growth and well-being, it is important to control the content of certain amino acids, while planning of the composition of the substrate.

This year, INSECTA conference covered several themes:

Insect rearing and production systems
Insect processing for food and feed,
Ethical and environmental aspects and 4. non-food application of insects

The INSECTA conference has established itself as a place where science and industry engage in fruitful knowledge exchange encompassing newcomers and experts. But the goal of the conference is multifold and it goes beyond the individual work of single entities. The aim is to build a strong ecosystem, connect companies and research institutes that play a major role in insect production and application, so the prospective aspects of insect technology could be discovered and implemented.
