项目摘要

BeoBia won a Young Innovators Award 2021/22 for redesigning, prototype, test and launch its insect eco-growing pods for people's homes. These products target exotic pets and small domestic animals that consume insects (reptiles, amphibians, birds, poultry, fish etc.) - harnessing insect power to recycle users' food waste and convert it into pet food and plant fertiliser, empowering people to create their own source of affordable and sustainable pet feed. BeoBia successfully achieved these ambitious targets and as of February 2022, is now retailing its insect pods in the UK, EU and USA.BeoBia now must build on its success, scale up insect production and move from domestic pet/animal insect growing to large-scale livestock feed production, enabling BeoBia to enter a larger and more lucrative market, maximising its environmental impact and aligning with UK/international policies.Reliance on soy-protein feed and high food waste negatively impacts the UK's food imports, agricultural sustainability, and food security and contributes to accelerating deforestation and climate change rates.The key technical challenge with livestock feed is producing an alternative source of protein that is competitively priced, sustainable and scalable.BeoBia wants to build on its extensive insect breeding knowledge to design and develop insect micro farms to solve these issues.

BeoBia 因重新设计、原型制作、测试和推出适合家庭的昆虫生态种植荚而荣获 2021/22 年青年创新者奖。这些产品针对以昆虫（爬行动物、两栖动物、鸟类、家禽、鱼类等）为食的外来宠物和小型家养动物——利用昆虫的力量回收用户的食物垃圾，并将其转化为宠物食品和植物肥料，使人们能够创造自己的生活。拥有负担得起且可持续的宠物饲料来源。 BeoBia 成功实现了这些雄心勃勃的目标，截至 2022 年 2 月，其昆虫荚现已在英国、欧盟和美国零售。BeoBia 现在必须在其成功的基础上扩大昆虫生产规模，并从家庭宠物/动物昆虫种植转向大型昆虫养殖。规模化牲畜饲料生产，使 BeoBia 能够进入更大、更有利可图的市场，最大限度地提高其环境影响并与英国/国际政策保持一致。对大豆蛋白饲料的依赖和高食品浪费带来负面影响影响英国的粮食进口、农业可持续性和粮食安全，并加速森林砍伐和气候变化速度。牲畜饲料的关键技术挑战是生产具有价格竞争力、可持续和可扩展的替代蛋白质来源。BeoBia 希望在此基础上继续发展其丰富的昆虫育种知识来设计和开发昆虫微型农场来解决这些问题。
