Who We Are
SixLegs Ltd is a pioneering insect farming company based in Mauritius, founded by Ludovic Mayer. As a passionate advocate for sustainability and environmental innovation, Ludovic envisioned SixLegs as a driving force for transforming how Mauritius views alternative protein sources and agricultural practices. As a homegrown Mauritian startup, we focus on turning local challenges into opportunities by using insects to build a better, greener future. With deep roots in science, entrepreneurship, and environmental care, SixLegs is proud to be part of Mauritius’s journey toward sustainable development.
The Pros of Insect Farming
Insect farming offers one of the most sustainable solutions to some of the biggest food and environmental challenges facing the world today. With a growing global demand for protein, insects represent a future-proof source of nutrition for both animals and potentially humans. They require significantly fewer resources compared to traditional livestock and contribute less to greenhouse gas emissions. Insects can convert organic waste into high-value outputs, making them an eco-friendly asset for Mauritius and beyond. At SixLegs, we believe insect-based innovations are key to building a more resilient, sustainable food system.
Local Valuable Resource
Insect farming utilizes a local, valuable resource that can be leveraged to create new economic opportunities for local communities, fostering innovation, job creation, and economic growth in Mauritius.
Sustainable Protein Source
Insects provide a highly efficient and sustainable source of protein for both animal and human consumption, reducing reliance on traditional livestock farming. They require fewer resources to produce, such as feed, water, and space, while offering high nutritional value. This makes them an ideal solution to meet the growing global demand for protein in an environmentally responsible way.
Waste Reduction
Insect farming requires significantly less land, water, and feed compared to conventional livestock, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural resources. It also turns food waste and agricultural by-products into valuable protein, reducing landfill use and supporting a more circular, sustainable food system.
Environmental Impact
Insect farming requires significantly less land, water, and feed compared to conventional livestock, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving natural resources.
Conservation and Agriculture
Insects are closely evolved with plants, making them vital for our ecosystems and agricultural purposes. They play crucial roles in pollination, pest control, and maintaining soil health, which are essential for sustainable farming practices.
Innovating in Mauritius
At SixLegs Ltd, our objective is to drive innovation within the Mauritian economy by exploring the untapped potential of insect farming. As a promising startup at the intersection of technology, agriculture, and ecology, we are building state-of-the-art processes to transform insects into valuable resources. Our work is contributing to a smarter, greener Mauritius by reducing waste, improving food security, and creating new economic opportunities. We aim to be at the forefront of agricultural transformation and sustainability, proving that even the smallest creatures can power the biggest ideas.
