IPIFF is an EU non-profit organisation which represents the interests of the insect production sector towards EU policy makers, European stakeholders and citizens. Composed of 70 members, most of which are European insect producing companies, IPIFF promotes the use of insect-derived products as top tier source of nutrients for human consumption, animal feed and plants (e.g. use for insect frass as fertiliser) through continuous dialogue with EU decision makers (i.e. European Commission, EU Member States authorities, European Parliament and the European Food Safety Authority). Notably, IPIFF centres its activities around advocating for appropriate EU legislative frameworks to apply to insect production.
The association also supports its members in the effective implementation of EU food and feed safety and labelling legislations as well as EU rules applicable to the marketing of fertilising products, such as through the promotion and/or development of shared standards.Main EU files targeted
