Environmental issues consultancy services

Tender description

The overall aim of this project is to develop a roadmap indicating how the production of insect protein for animal feed can be scaled up so that it can begin to displace fishmeal and eventually soya bean meal. The report should consolidate existing research and build a body of evidence which can be used to catalyse the expansion of insect protein production in Europe, with focus on the UK. The final output will be a WWF report. WWF is leading this piece of work, with close participation of Tesco, with whom we are working to reduce the environmental impact of the UK shopping basket by half. We believe that WWF, a credible and neutral organisation led by environmental values, is best positioned to produce a persuasive and impactful piece. The consultant will: • carry out a literature review, conduct interviews with industry experts, write the report, run modelling/collect data to create a credible roadmap; • provide a full description of the data and the date on which it was collected; • highlight any uncertainties surrounding the accuracy of the data; • produce a final report.
