The insect institute
Step Inside the Insect Institute and Discover a Small World with a Big Role to Play.
Often overlooked, insects are essential to how farms function, from supporting healthy soils to sustaining entire ecosystems. At the Insect Institute, curiosity leads the way, inviting you in to take a closer look, learn more and see the farm from a whole new perspective.
A Balanced Ecosystem
Insects are essential to a healthy farm. They pollinate crops, improve soil health and support biodiversity across the landscape. A thriving insect population helps keep everything in balance, naturally reducing the need for chemical inputs and allowing the farm to work in harmony with itself.
Insects are just one element of our 5 Pillars of Education.
Farming the Future
Crickets are one of the most sustainable protein sources on the planet. Nutrient-dense and naturally efficient, they offer a smart solution for feeding people while conserving water and land, and minimising emissions.
Inside the Institute, you can follow the full life cycle of crickets, from egg to harvest, gaining insight into how they’re grown, cared for and farmed. It’s a small system with a big impact and a chance to see the future of food up close.
High in protein, essential amino acids, iron, zinc and B12, crickets have been enjoyed for generations around the world. Their flavour is subtle, nutty and easy to enjoy, proving that sustainable choices don’t need to compromise on taste.
