Environmental Benefits
Insect farming uses far less land, water, and feed than cattle or poultry per kilogram of protein — a compelling case for sustainable food systems in Southeast Asia.
The FAO and numerous life-cycle studies highlight insects as one of the most resource-efficient animal protein sources. Cricket and BSF larvae farms can operate vertically in urban warehouses, reducing transport miles to Malaysian cities.
ento was founded on a mission to provide safer, healthier, and more reliable food sources — introducing entomophagy as a practical response to livestock agriculture's environmental footprint.
We farm and process with transparency — hygienic facilities, traceable batches, and clear labelling on products in the ento range.
Key highlights
- ✓ Dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions vs beef
- ✓ Minimal land and freshwater footprint
- ✓ Efficient feed conversion — insects turn feed into protein quickly
- ✓ Potential to upcycle food waste into larvae feed
Malaysia context
Malaysia imports a significant share of its animal feed. Locally farmed insects can reduce dependency on soy and fishmeal imports over time. Choosing Malaysian insect protein supports that transition.
