In this episode, Kim sits down with Hector, co-founder of Entovore a pioneering company farming mealworms for sustainable pet food. They explore the fascinating world of insect farming—from the spark of inspiration on the Jurassic coast to building a climate-controlled farm and creating novel protein treats for dogs. Hector explains why mealworms were chosen over black soldier flies, how surplus grain is repurposed into feed, and the surprising benefits of mealworm farming, from natural fertilizer to allergy-friendly nutrition.


Kim and Hector also discuss the challenges of consumer perceptions, the development of sweet potato and mealworm-based treats, and the exciting potential of insects in the circular economy. Whether you’re a dog owner curious about new nutrition options or someone interested in sustainability and innovation, this conversation will open your eyes to the future of pet food.
