A unique model

A local insect farming industry

Invers is creating a fully integrated and innovative production chain for high-quality protein, intended for animal feed – for birds, pets and livestock. 

Historically based in the heart of Limagne, we are working alongside local farmers and cooperatives to develop a 100% sustainable French insect-farming industry. 

From the raw materials used to feed the mealworms to the use of insect waste to fertilise the soil, this model is deeply rooted in the local area

A circular and resilient model

Eco-design is part of our DNA and form the outset, our model has been developed with a focus on ressource preservation.

Utilising local by-products: wheat bran, a by-product from the Limagne mills, is our main input.

Maximising the value of production waste: from larvae waste that fertilise soils to chitin from insect shells used in bioplastics, nothing is wasted!

Minimising our energy needs: our buildings are energy-efficient, require no heating and are now powered by renewable energy from photovoltaic panels.

Through the development of workshops on farms, Invers is helping to create a dynamic ecosystem which is more respectful of the environment and all living things.

A replicable model !

The first production chain was developed in Auvergne, consisting of a hathery capable of supplying up to 25 insect farms and a network of insect-rearing farmers located within a 50km radius. The integration was made possible through close collaboration with local cooperatives. .

This unique model has been designed to be replicable and adaptable to the specific production needs and market demands of different regions. Working at the scale of a local area or region is essential if we aim to strenghten the resilience of our agriculture and the vitality of our rural areas.

Our unique approach ? the farming phase takes place directly with our partner farmers, promoting the sustainability of the industry, the local area and the environment.
