Insect protein – Innovation and collaboration opportunities for Africa and the UK

If you’re interested in insect protein innovation in the UK or Africa, this event is for you.

Insect protein could be a game changer when it comes to alternative protein sources, particularly for animal feed, but also for us to include in our diet. Insect protein has real potential to help the AgriFood sector to become more sustainable and reduce its environmental impact.

Join us to discuss how we can make the most of innovation and collaboration opportunities around insect protein.
