INVAIO SCIENCES LABS

Invaio Sciences Labs is a cutting-edge center of discovery in Cambridge, MA.  Beginning with the understanding of the inner workings of insects to benefit us all, we draw upon a lineage of advancing life sciences to gain a deeper understanding of our relationship with natural systems.

Representing 80% of all species on the planet, insects are the foundation for all food systems.

Health & Nutrition

Management practice of insects teems with externalities impacting the health of humans. At Invaio, our approach to dealing with pests and infectious threats evolves antiquated models pervasive today. Volumes of harmful chemicals are currently unleashed impacting food quality, the stability of the planet, and your health.

  FOUNDATION OF ALL 

  FOOD SYSTEMS 

INSECTS IMPACT ON HEALTH & NUTRITION

At Invaio, our approach in dealing with pests evolves an antiquated model pervasively used today. With current efficacy rates of less than 1%, volumes of harmful chemicals are now unleashed impacting the quality of our food, the planet & systems we all share, and your health. Through physical application and a biological know-how our approach focuses on precision delivery.

 95% of all flowering plants exist thanks to pollinating insects

Food animal well being is tied directly to human and planetary health. But, the practices we use in feeding the 65 billion animals processed yearly is depleting, extractive, unnatural and foolish. Insects are a solution.

An overuse of antibiotics & chemicals is proving unsafe for our health

A MINDFUL APPROACH

Intensifying PRESSURES are forcing an end to the kill-everything model of food production.

It’s time we all move forward with a smarter approach. A more MINDFUL approach.

We’re PIONEERING technologies which will introduce refinement to the practices used in managing INSECTS while feeding ourselves and managing our natural resources.
