Our PurposeWe believe in the power of insects to sustainably transform agriculture – and in turn – our lives. We have just scratched the surface of what these incredible invertebrates can contribute to the world. We treat the insects we breed and farm with respect and care – creating the optimal conditions for them to do grow into the most nutrient rich source of food for agriculture on the planet.Our purpose is to harness all that these insects can offer – starting with transforming aquaculture.Our MissionOreka is an Ag-Tech Insect Company delivering Immune-health advantage for more productive Aquaculture. This is our focus, it is at the centre of everything we do. Our HistoryOur core founder, Jon Duschinsky, while on a speaking engagement, uncovered the wonders of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF). He quickly realized that this small insect contained incredible powers. It had remarkable potential to support the environment, agriculture and human health. We formed a team of entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers in 2014 and embarked on a journey to learn more about the black soldier fly. We quickly realized that it was not only a natural alternative to feed livestock treat the soil, it could also make a significant impact on a farmer's pocketbook. Since 2014, Oreka Solutions has learned to maximize the inherent value of the Black Soldier Fly and harness its power for more productive agriculture. We developed proprietary processes that included inputs like "maximizing feed stock" and "self-harvesting" – all previously unknown to our team – before beginning to scale up our black soldier fly production in early 2017.Our first product to market is Immaris targeted at the Aquaculture market with more to come. We have harnessed the power of the black soldier fly and are ready to change the world.
