The FARMŸNG project is proud to share that one of its key partners, the Walloon Agricultural Research Centre (CRA-W), will take part in the 76th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP), taking place in Innsbruck, Austria, from August 26 to 29, 2025.

CRA-W will deliver an oral presentation in Session 58: “The safety and sustainability of the insect sector”, scheduled for August 27, 2025. The presentation is entitled:

“Authentication of insect-derived products by real-time PCR and High-Throughput Sequencing”
Authors: B. Dubois, A. Marien, S. Guillet, J.-F. Morin, B. Lorrette, G. San Martin, F. Debode
Presenter: Dr. Frédérique Debode
Abstract number: 786110876

This scientific contribution highlights CRA-W’s expertise in developing reliable molecular methods to authenticate insect-based products, ensuring quality, traceability, and consumer confidence. These efforts are directly aligned with the objectives of the FARMŸNG project, which aims to pioneer sustainable large-scale production of Tenebrio molitor-derived ingredients for animal feed and organic fertilizers.

Participation in EAAP 2025 provides a valuable platform to showcase the project’s latest research outcomes, promote the integration of insect-based solutions into the agri-food system, and reinforce the scientific foundations of the growing insect sector.
