Mobius Farms

Mobius Farms is an innovative enterprise turning food waste into value! Using insect bioconversion technologies, we produce high quality insect protein-based products suitable for the pet, aquaculture and livestock markets. Sustainable protein for the future of food. We do this by collecting food waste from commercial kitchens, restaurants and caterers around the Barossa Valley and feeding it to a fabulous insect called, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae. This little grub is a voracious eater with an appetite for almost any foodstuff! From bread to brewery mash, pickles to potatoes, oranges to offal; there’s not too much they won’t eat. Within a matter of two weeks, the larvae grow from miniscule to harvest ready. Each kilogram of larvae consumes up to four kilograms of organic food waste in its short lifetime. They are able to be reared intensively in a small footprint of land with very minimal water consumption making them a sustainable source of insect protein. And therein lies the value proposition: using Black Soldier Fly Larvae, we are able to convert low value food waste into a valuable product; high in protein, fat, calcium and other minerals (typical analysis 40% protein, 25 % fat, 2% calcium). This nutritional profile makes it an ideal substitution for ingredients such as soy, meat and fish meal in a range of pet and livestock products.
