evidence: Tyson Foods expands into insect protein production with Protix partnership [...] "Our partnership with Protix represents the latest strategic investment by Tyson Foods in groundbreaking solutions that drive added value to Tyson Foods’ business," Tyson Foods CFO John R. Tyson said in a statement. "The insect lifecycle provides the opportunity for full circularity within our value chain, strengthening our commitment to building a more sustainable food system for the future." [...] Tyson also entered into a joint venture with Protix to construct and operate in the US a facility that will "house an enclosed system to support all aspects of insect protein production, including the breeding, incubating and hatching of insect larvae" that can be used for aquaculture, pet food and livestock- and plant-feed.
