About LIVIN farms

LIVIN farms was incorporated in late 2015 with its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. LIVIN farms has a highly international, experienced and committed team with combined decades of industry know-how from biology, production, and technology down to business development. Setting up an insect farming operation is a lengthy and expensive procedure that requires a lot of time and R&D. Therefore, our technology helps our customers to make a shortcut. Our Hive PRO factories are ready-to-go industrial insect farming modules. “We are using insects’ key function in the ecosystem to make our food system healthy again at scale: Turning waste into precious food!” (Katharina Unger, CEO).
