Decentralized way to upcycle biowaste to high-protein animal feed and organic fertilizer

Manna is an intelligent and energy-efficient technology for upcycling biowaste into high-protein animal feed and fertilizer by rearing black soldier fly (BSF) larvae in climatized, stand-alone 20ft containers.

Manna MIND, our self-learning, cloud-based control unit, monitors and automatically adjusts the climate inside every individual container to ensure the best conditions for BSF larvae to grow.

Manna offers new business opportunities around the globe in fast-growing markets of insect feed.

ONE REARING CYCLE 10 – 14 DAYS

Output ratio is highly dependent on the quality of the biowaste

What makes Manna special?

Manna has created a localized, intelligent solution for converting all organic waste in any weather conditions into protein-rich animal feed and organic fertilizer, with minimal effort and investments.

Affordable and agile

Manna MIND is the most cost-efficient and fastest way to pilot and start insect based business

Manna solution is built in used 20ft shipping containers, with affordable hardware and low initial costs, and the energy consumption of Manna containers is minimal. Manna increases profitability by reducing feed costs and removing dependence on soy and fish meal purchases, and can also bring new revenue streams from selling larvae and frass to other growers.

Designed to be built and used locally anywhere

The container can be deployed within weeks to anywhere and also assembled there

Manna containers can be built locally; only the intelligent Manna MIND unit, that automatically and remotely controls the conditions inside each container, is delivered from the Manna headquarters. For partners Manna provides a full list of needed hardware and materials (BOM) for assembling the container(s) on-site.

Standalone and location independent

In Manna Insect we have tested and used BSF rearing and breeding containers from freezing -35C conditions to hot environments up to +48C. Depending on the environment Manna recommends components with higher or lower capacity, so the containers can be used in a wide variety of environments and climates. Manna containers are infrastructure-independent stand-alone units, so they can be set up anywhere.

Energy efficient

The average power consumption of one Manna container can be less than 750W, when the container is used in climate conditions between +10C to +45C. Manna solution is also solar power compatible.

Versatile usage

Manna MIND can be repurposed from rearing to breeding when capacity scales, but also relocated or even resold when needs change

As Manna MIND is in control of the rearing (or breeding) phase, workforce is needed basically only for pre- and post-processing and for loading and unloading the container. Previous knowledge of rearing insects is not needed to start operations with Manna containers.

Fully automated

Manna MIND is a fully automated solution that creates and maintains an optimal environment for rearing and breeding black soldier fly (BSF) larvae. The MIND unit constantly collects and analyzes data and automatically controls the process based on carefully built algorithms. After a Manna container is loaded with crushed bio waste and neonates (young BSF larvae), the rearing phase (10-15 days) is basically labor-free. 

Ecological and green

Manna solution enables effectively turning biowaste into animal feed and frass that can be used as fertilizer, doing all this naturally, without any waste or useless side products. Using insect based feed helps to replace soy fields and to save fish, saves water and reduces CO2. Furthermore, Manna containers are built locally, work as stand-alone units and consume a minimal amount of energy.

Intelligent and learning

Manna MIND is an intelligent control unit that is constantly improving performance as new knowledge is implemented in the algorithm. Manna MIND keeps the conditions inside the container optimal by observing and adjusting the rearing / breeding process remotely over the Internet.

Solar power compatible

Manna solution can be used fully off-grid with solar power. Depending on the location, an average solar power system for off-grid usage requires 4 kW solar panels and 14 kWh of batteries (not part of the standard package).

Customer success stories

After several years of studying, growing BSF larvae in harsh climate conditions and developing our unique, intelligent MIND unit for remotely monitoring and optimizing the breeding and rearing processes, Manna Insect is ready to grow globally.

Manna’s solution has already been successfully implemented on three continents; in Asia, Africa and Europe. The future is here – read our customer stories and join the feed revolution, farming locally instead of buying globally!

Environmental impact

Insect based feed is an environmental friendly and sustainable option for soy and fish based feed, reducing the need of soy fields (that cause gas emissions and land erosion) and saving fish by reducing the dependence of fish as a protein source.

BSF larvae can turn a wide range of organic waste streams into biomass that can be reused as animal feed. In Manna containers the larvae breeding and rearing can be done naturally, without any useless side products. Compared to using soy and fish based feed, Manna solution reduces CO2 emissions remarkably, and saves significant amounts of water.

Growing BSF larvae helps to reduce the environmental impact of organic waste, and in addition to high-quality animal feed, the process generates organic fertilizers (frass). With one Manna container, up to 20 000 kilos of live larvae can be produced annually, with which 8 000 chickens can be fed. The value of the feed produced is roughly $12 000 a year.
