ADM and Innovafeed advance insect pet food with US plant

09 May 2024 — Insect ingredient formulator Innovafeed and ADM have partnered to unveil a North American Insect Innovation Center (NAIIC) in Decatur, Illinois, hailed as the French agtech’s move to scale-up production and commercialization of insect protein in the US. 

Innovafeed breeds Hermetia illucens, also known as black soldier fly, in indoor farms, while efficiently “repurposing” ADM’s agricultural by-products as part of a “zero-waste framework.”
