Impact guides the daily life of all Ÿnsecters: how can we feed the planet while conserving resources and biodiversity? As our initiatives broaden, we have decided to give a voice to those who are helping to change the world, offer alternatives and increase sustainably. Today, we meet Jacques Barreau, CEO and co-founder of Grain de Sail, a company using a bespoke sustainable ship to transport organic wine from France to the USA, and bring coffee and cocoa mass back to use and sell in France. We discussed about their activity, ambitions and challenges, as well as sustainability and decisions that have to be made for the future.

The ŸNFABRE programme aims to develop high-precision phenotyping tools for the next generation of the group’s breeders, which will secure the supply of larvae to the group’s insects farms. The sequencing of the mealworm genome represents an innovative breakthrough for the structure of the insect farming industry, based on enhanced breeds of insects stemming from a particular selection process. Ÿnsect thus continues to evolve, restating its intention to see France become a world leader in the market for the production and selection of farmed insects.

Paris, Friday January 21, 2022 – Ÿnsect, a B Corp-certified company and world leader in the production of premium insect-based ingredients, today welcomed Barbara Pompili, Minister of Ecological Transition, together with her European environmental counterparts, including Virginijus Sinkevi?ius, European Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, to its Ÿnfarm site (Ÿnsect’s vertical production farm). The visit comes as part of informal meetings within the framework of the French presidency of the European Union. The site, also funded by a European BBI JU grant (Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking) as part of the ‘Farmyng’ project, is expected to come into operation in the second half of 2022, and should go on to produce over 200,000 metric tons of insect-based ingredients per year. Ÿnfarm is set to be the world’s largest vertical farm: a unique complex covering an area of some 45,000 m² and 36 metres high, built to breed beetles, and with a built-in, fully automated food processing unit.
