Building insect agriculture infrastructure that transforms waste into protein and soil health.
Org Type: Ag, Food & Natural Capital
Chapul Farms develops insect agriculture facilities that convert organic waste streams—such as brewery and food‑processing by‑products—into insect protein, oil, and frass for feed and soil applications. Its black soldier fly‑based systems help close nutrient loops, reduce landfill use, and create new revenue streams for waste producers while supporting regenerative agriculture.
Contribution
Provides design, financing, and operation of insect farms, technical expertise on black soldier fly systems, partnerships with breweries and food processors, and product lines (protein, oil, frass) that integrate into agriculture and feed supply chains.Chapul contributes measurable data on waste diverted, emissions reductions, and nutrient recycling.
Focus Areas
Food‑waste reduction, circular economy and industrial symbiosis, alternative protein and feed, regenerative soil amendments, and climate mitigation via landfill avoidance and reduced reliance on resource‑intensive feed sources.
Geographical Location
Focus on North America with potential for global replication, particularly near dense food manufacturing, brewing, or agricultural processing hubs that generate consistent organic by‑products.
Alignment with SIR
Chapul Farms’ model aligns with Social Impact Rewards by turning what was once a cost—waste management—into a source of climate‑positive value.YouTube By tracking tonnes of waste processed and downstream soil and feed benefits, this partnership helps build the case for outcome‑linked finance for circular infrastructure.
