Innovafeed contributes to the construction of sustainable food systems by developing a pioneering and innovative industry: the breeding and processing of insects (Hermetia illucens or black soldier fly).
Our mission:
- To have a positive overall environmental impact based on the circular economy and inspired by natural food chains
- To generate local economic dynamism: in order to feed and raise our larvae, we are co-located with agro-industrial partners that provide us with co-products and low footprint energy
Incorporated in 2016, Innovafeed manufactures and sells 3 different insect-based products:
- For high-quality aquaculture that’s respectful of animals’ natural diets, insect protein well suited for fish feed, particularly for salmon and trout that you would fly fish in a river! 🐟 It’s also an excellent protein source for pet foods, particularly for dogs and cats🐶😺
- For a sustainable farming that’s respectful of animal welfare, insect oil is efficient for feeding animals like poultry and swine 🐤
- For a regenerative agriculture that’s respectful of soils’ integrity, insects feces are leveraged as an efficient organic fertilizer 🌱
The success of our project depends on a dynamic and talented team. We opened the first production site in Gouzeaucourt (Hauts-de-France) in 2017. We launched our second production site in Nesle (Somme) at the end of 2020: and it is 20x times larger than Gouzeaucourt!
In September of 2022, Innovafeed raised US$ 250 million in Series D funding bringing the total cumulative financing to US$ 450 million. This capital will be used to further increase production capacity in France through the further expansion of its Nesle site and construct the largest insect production plant in the world in Decatur, Illinois, USA.
We are experiencing significant growth through strong market traction and significant production scale-up.
That’s why we need a strong team which shares the same values in order to reach our goal: to become the world’s insect ingredient leader!
Do you believe in the potential for insect ingredients and are convinced of the central position it should hold in the food chain? Then, we believe you’re ready to on-board on the Innovafeed adventure!
Our recruitment process is objective, inclusive and fair. It’s very important for us to offer from the start a clear, smooth, and constructive recruitment experience for each applicant.
We continuously assess and review unsolicited applications when new career opportunities arise.
