In this episode, I talk to Ykä about his pioneering work creating a one stop shop for rearing Black Soldier Fly larvae for livestock feed in used shipping containers.
Ykä is a serial entrepreneur based in Finland and currently CEO and founder of Manna Insect, which is on a mission to feed the world sustainably and give animal growers a cost-effective solution to produce their own feed.

This larvae can then be locally used to replace soy and fish meal.

He has 15 years of technical experience developing B2B and consumer products relating to sensor and behavioral algorithms, autonomous measurement and analysis solutions. He has a PhD on understanding human comfort in moving machines. He has been CEO, CTO, COO, CIO, CMO and chairman of the board for several companies.
