17 Jun 2020 --- French producer of farmed insects Ÿnsect has become the first company in the world to obtain certification and marketing approval for a natural fertilizer made from insect by-products. Authorization for the fertilizer ŸnFrass, which is derived from mealworm waste, or “frass,” was issued by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES). The certification provides agricultural producers worldwide with a new tool for organic farming that can potentially increase crop yield while producing raw materials free from chemical or synthetic treatments.
