EntoTech Innovations is a Sierra Leone-based agricultural research and development company incorporated in March 2023 to pioneer insect solutions.
Our organisation is driven by a vision to utilise the tropical environment of West Africa for pioneering research. We promote pollinator health and well-being, develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs for major pests, and design laboratory protocols for mass-rearing insects as biological control agents, protein sources, and fertilisers.
Our Research Focus
Relative to natural enemies, pest populations in tropical countries have increased with warmer temperatures. At EntoTech Innovations, we seek sustainable solutions to strike a balance by harnessing the potential of natural enemies as biological control agents. Stay tuned for more!
The role of pollinators in promoting Sierra Leone’s economy has gained momentum over time. To sustain this gain, we seek to confirm the healthy status of our bees. Our research focuses on the impact of pesticides and climate change on bee populations with the ultimate goal of designing strategies to foster abundance and resilience.
Over-reliance on livestock products amid mounting environmental concerns is unsustainable. EntoTech seeks to design technologies for extracting protein from common insects in tropical countries. Discover the potential of insect-based protein as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative for human consumption.
Insects in tropical countries are promising alternative protein sources for livestock and fisheries industries. Their frass is considered an organic fertiliser capable of improving soil health. Our research explores techniques for mass-rearing insects as protein sources and optimal crop response to frass.
EMPOWERING AFRICAN ENTREPRENEURS
After being incorporated in March 2023, our organisation was selected as a beneficiary of the 2023 Tony Elumelu Empowering African Entrepreneurship Program. This funding allows us to expand our research on Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae as a source of livestock protein and its frass as an organic fertiliser.
