Company Summary

HATCH uses insects to solve future global food challenges.
Baby Black Soldier Fly larvae are grown on food waste otherwise destined for landfill, producing adult larvae 10 days which can be rendered and sold the livestock sector as protein rich meal and oil. An organic fertiliser is a by-product of this all natural, zero-waste system.
Multiple revenue streams are generated via waste processing fees, and protein, oil and fertiliser sales.
