We started | We started insect farming in a small garage. In 2017 we teamed up with Bernhard Protiwensky, a fertilizer expert and seasoned entrepreneur, to found Ecofly. Since then we work in the austrian village of Antiesenhofen to develop an efficient and cheap technology for breeding and growing BSF-larvae. In the beginning of 2020 we started a cooperation with PUREA Austria GmbH in order to turn the knowledge of both parties into an industrial process for breeding, growing and processing BSF-larvae. | ||
Our solution to counteract the problems of global food production is based on a small fly called Hermetia Illucens (soldier fly). This fly offers fast growth and efficient biomass conversion while feeding on waste streams. Therefore we tackle two problems at once and contribute to a sustainable transformation of the food industry. | Our solution to counteract the problems of global food production is based on a small fly called Hermetia Illucens (soldier fly).

We utilize the larvae of the black soldier fly for upcycling waste streams to a high quality insect protein. Our larvae are exclusively fed on side products, which are authorized as feed stuff by EU regulations. Thus we can guarantee a stable process and prevent contaminations. The black soldier fly can be farmed very efficiently on small space. For one metric ton of product per year only one square metre of production area is required. | We utilize the larvae of the black soldier fly for upcycling waste streams to a high quality insect protein.

Our founder and CEO, Dirk Wessendorf, started as early as 2009 with the breeding of Black Soldier Flies. Much research has led us now to a system that allows the fattening of BSF larvae in a fully automated manner, reliable and highly cost-effective. The vertical farming principle allows for a 17-fold multiplication of the ground area. This system (patent pending) is especially designed for farmers and others who have access to biogenic side-streams. These can be converted to valuable proteins, insect oil and fertilizer. | |||
