SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted - not all hyperlinks included from original]) — An insect farm seeking to create “sustainable” livestock feed is set to open in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan this month. 

On July 18, NRGene Canada, an agricultural technology firm, announced the June 30 opening of its North American Insect Centre which will focus on using insect protein to create livestock feed out of black soldier flies.

“NRGene Canada, NRGene’s Canadian subsidiary, proudly announces the opening of the North American Insect Center (NAIC),” the company stated in a June 18th press release. 

“This research center for collaborative innovation was established together with the Swiss technology group Bühler marking a significant milestone in the advancement of insect protein production in North America,” it continued. 

According to a later press release, the insects are ideal for livestock feed since the flies can “convert food and agricultural waste into high-quality protein, oil, and fertilizer at a record speed.”

NRGene further asserts that the “larvae are a rich source of essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.” 

Dr. Masood Rizvi, General Manager of NRGene Canada, celebrated the move saying, “The establishment of the NAIC in Saskatchewan is a testament to our commitment to driving innovation in the insect protein industry.” 

“This facility will position Saskatchewan as a global center for insect protein production,” he continued. “By leveraging our advanced research capabilities, we aim to support local and regional economies while setting a new standard for sustainable protein production.”

The company projects the market will reach USD 3.96 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 31% from now until 2033.

The Saskatoon farm is only the latest insect farm to begin production.

Both crickets and mealworms in recent years have been promoted by global elites as a source of protein that they say could replace beef or pork, and which can also be used in a variety of foods.

While the forthcoming farm in Saskatoon is focused on livestock feed, globalist groups like Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum and its Great Reset plan have long promoted eating bugs to replace beef, pork, and other meats that they say have high “carbon” footprints.

The Trudeau government has implemented many policies that align with the WEF’s so-called “climate change” agenda, including a punishing carbon tax and restrictions on the nation’s oil and gas industries.

As LifeSiteNews previously reported, since 2018, a total of $420,023 has been spent on helping multiple food companies that make human bug food.

Some of the cricket food-making companies include NAAK Inc., a Montreal-based business that has gotten a staggering $171,695 from the government in the last five years.

Another company, Casa Bonita Foods, is planning on making “high protein snacks made with cricket flour.”

The promotion of eating bug protein has the support of Canada’s federal government under Trudeau.

His government has contributed $8.5 million to a London, Ontario cricket farm run by the Aspire Food Group.

The cricket farm can make 13 million kilograms of crickets for “human and pet consumption.”

At the same time, the Trudeau government has begun to attack Canadian farmers by pushing forth an agenda that would force them to reduce the amount of nitrogen-based fertilizer. This could have a large negative impact on the growing of feed for cattle as well as food for human consumption.
