OBERLAND AGRISCIENCE INC
Oberland Agriscience Inc. is a Halifax based life science company founded in 2017 as a sustainable, zero waste, alternate protein production facility. Deploying an organic byproducts-toalternate protein approach, Oberland produces several insect protein products. Oberland generates high quality sustainable protein from larvae using less land, with lower emissions and less water than traditional protein sources while minimizing biodiversity impacts of animal feed. Using a proprietary organics stabilization process, Oberland transforms organic by-products into a nutritious insect feed and that feed is used to rear the black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) on an industrial scale. The BSLF in turn become a nutrient-rich, high quality protein ingredient for pet food, aquaculture and agriculture feed. We are committed to creating a circular economy for food. #closingthefoodloop
