Livin Farms | Austria - petworldwide

Livin Farms is a technology company developing equipment to grow alternative proteins and to educate people about sustainability. It was incorporated in late 2015 and has its headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

How it works.

The core development is a modular, plug-and-play insect farming factory that can turn industrial amounts of organic by-products into insects. Those can in turn be processed and sold as animal feed or human food. “We are using the key function of insects in the ecosystem to make our food system healthy again at scale: turning waste into precious food,” says company founder and CEO Katharina Unger.

Setting up an insect farming operation is a lengthy and expensive procedure that requires a lot of time and R&D. With the company’s technology, industry customers have a shortcut. Its Hive PRO factories are ready-to-go industrial insect farming modules. They serve as key enabling technologies for the food, feed and recycling industries to turn their low-value resources into high-quality ingredients for commercialisation.

The company secured a grant of 2.5 mio euros from the European Innovation Council (EIC) and opened a 1 400 m² pilot factory in Vienna, Austria.
