At Entomo Farm, our initiatives are dedicated to promoting healthy diets for chickens, fish and promoting healthy soil management while advancing sustainable practices in agrifood systems. We produce high-quality insect protein as an alternative source of nutrition that is not only highly nutritious but also environmentally sustainable. Insect protein is rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making it an ideal component of a balanced diet for different livestock, poultry and aquaculture.

Feed

At Entomo Farm, we specialize in producing eco-friendly, nutrient-rich feed for fish and chickens, leveraging the benefits of insect-based ingredients. Our sustainable feed solutions are formulated to promote optimal livestock health and growth while minimizing the environmental impact compared to traditional feed. By incorporating insects, we offer a high-protein, environmentally responsible alternative that aligns with the principles of sustainable agriculture and the circular economy. Our dedication to innovation and sustainability ensures that our feed products are of the highest quality and contribute to a more sustainable future in farming.

Soil

Over the years a lot of farmers have experienced crop vulnerability from climate change, poor soil health, pests, limited access to inputs, and markets. This has hindered their crop yields and revenue margins. Innovative approaches and techniques like our frass fertilizer production as a byproduct of product of the feed production process helps farmers grow their crops well. This product is an organic fertilizer with good amounts of NPK, whose nutrient analysis is conducted often. Know the nutritional content of the frass helps with crop rotation and companion planting

Out grower Programme and Training

We contribute to improving dietary diversity and food security, particularly in regions, like Zambia which is currently experiencing effects of the El Niño induced drought, where access to nutritious foods is limited. Furthermore, we actively engage with local communities to promote awareness of the nutritional benefits of insect protein and provide training and support to farmers through our outgrower program. Through these initiatives, we are not only promoting healthy diets for all but also driving positive change in agrifood systems towards greater sustainability and resilience.
