Insects for Europe: a Blueprint for EU Leadership in a Circular Bioeconomy

For policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to shape the future with insects

8th December 2026

European Parliament, Brussels

An event in partnership with The Parliament and co-hosted by the MEP Paulo Nascimento Cabral (EPP, Portugal), will bring together stakeholders from EU institutions, aquaculture and livestock sectors, and circular‑economy champions.

The event aims to deliver:

  • A binding EU action plan with milestones and governance that tracks resource efficiency, circularity, maturity, scale, and regulatory progress.
  • Roadmaps for regional biorefineries and for integrating insect outputs into agri‑food supply chains.
  • Harmonised End‑of‑Waste criteria and a clear biomass value hierarchy that guides investment, procurement, and policy alignment where insects are acknowledged and valorised.
  • Public procurement criteria that support bio‑based soil enhancers and insect‑derived inputs (insect frass) catalysing market uptake.
