About Tebrio, insect industry leaders

At the rate that the world is growing, we’ll only have enough food to feed 50% of our future population by 2050 and introducing novel proteins into the food value chain that are rich in amino acids and use less water and arable land is the only solution forward for mankind and the planet, which is why, in 2014, Adriana Casillas and Sabas de Diegofounded Tebrio, the world’s leading carbon-negative, zero-residue insect biotechnology company, which tackles climate change and the world food crisis by breeding and transforming rich amino acid mealworms into three main co-products: (i) sustainabe premium fish, pet and animal feed (ii) biofertilizer for plant nutrition that acts as a natural pest repellent (iii) chitosan to manufacture biodegradable plastic that disolves in water. Our carbon negative pilot farm produces 500 tons of co-products a year, does not emit greenhouse gases like ammonia or methane, uses 98% less water and 90% less arable land than other animal and plant protein farms, and is the only company in our industry in Spain that has received an ISO9001 certification, which guarantees the quality of our products. Thanks to our current operations, we have secured an undisclosed Series A round, which we are using to develop a EUR 50 million insect farm that will take us from a 500 tn to a 100.000 tns production of co-products a year and will be the largest of its kind in the world.
