Harper Adams in £1m collaboration for insect farm project
Researchers at Harper Adams University are working to develop the world’s first fully modular insect farm.
The team has linked up with agri-tech company Flybox as part of a £1 million collaboration.
The project has been co-funded with £762,194 coming from Innovate UK and DEFRA through the Farming Futures Research and Development (R&D) Fund.
The partners will aim to tackle climate change, land overuse and food waste by using insects as a sustainable source of protein on commercial farms.
