While the world debates lab-grown meat and plant-based alternatives, Ynsect is taking a radically different approach to the protein shortage: industrial-scale insect farming. With $404M in funding and a 319-person team, this French startup isn't just making pet food—they're building the infrastructure for a future where bugs become the backbone of our food chain.

"Ynsect isn't selling a product—they're selling an industrial revolution that happens to involve mealworms."

The company's tech stack reveals a modern, scalable approach: jQuery for interactivity, Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap for rapid frontend development, and lazy loading for performance. But the real innovation happens off-screen—in their automated production facilities where mealworms convert agricultural byproducts into protein with 90% less land and water than traditional livestock. They're not just selling insect meal; they're selling a solution to the protein efficiency problem.

• Industrial-scale vertical farming: Ynsect's automated facilities can produce thousands of tons of insect protein annually
• Circular economy model: They feed agricultural waste to insects, creating protein while reducing waste streams
• Multi-market strategy: B2B animal feed, pet food, and human nutrition ingredients create diversified revenue streams
• European regulatory leadership: As a French company, they're navigating EU approval for insect-based human foods ahead of competitors
