The breeding and processing of insects into ingredients for animal nutrition is a topic increasingly discussed. The recovery of food waste, which serves as a substrate for the development of insects, as well as the production of new proteins that can be assimilated by breeding, make this method a virtuous cycle on global societal issues.

VGD intervenes, through its lighting expertise and its lighting system, on the increase and homogeneity of insect production.

”The insect production cycle is perfectly suited to the recovery of food waste resulting from unsold products, oversized products and others. This waste represents about 20% of food production. The use of light on insects helps to sustain and increase reproductive cycles, laying rates and hatching rates. The insects are then processed and used primarily for animal nutrition.
