PHYLA is innovating alternative protein sources redefining how protein is produced sustainably. We research, develop, and deploy technologies to commercially scale protein production.
Protein is the most critical nutrient in feed systems and is currently in the shortest supply. As the global population continues to grow, traditional protein sources are becoming increasingly scarce.
PHYLA focuses on local alternative protein production with a global outlook on feeding the world without consuming it.

Why insect protein as an alternative protein?

Insects represent nearly 80% of all described animal species. Black Soldier Fly is considered to be one of nature’s most efficient recyclers. By harnessing them, we transform organic waste into high-value protein and sustainable resources.
