Since 2024, the Singapore Food Agency has approved 16 insect species for human consumption. In this talk, Altimate Nutrition explores how insects might move beyond novelty snacks to become viable, sustainable protein sources for a food-secure future.
Co-founder Yuen Sheng Hiew will share insights into the evolving regulatory landscape of entomophagy in Singapore, their research and development journey with insect-based ingredients, and collaborations with scientists investigating how insect consumption may even play a role in Alzheimer’s research.
As Singapore’s first start-up dedicated to transforming insects into nourishing, sustainable food for humans, Altimate Nutrition invites participants to rethink what we eat, with an optional tasting flight to conclude the session.
About Signal & Swarm
Signal & Swarm is a micro festival that explores intelligence in all its forms — biological, digital and mechanical. Inspired by the intricate worlds of Insects: Microsculptures Magnified and NOX: Confessions of a Machine, the programme weaves together practices of care, curiosity and co-evolution to invite reflection on urban futures, machine empathy and the hidden lives of insects.
