Holocene: Reinventing the Food Chain With Black Soldier Fly Nutrition

If you’ve ever searched for pet food that’s gentle on sensitive stomachs and gentler on the planet, you’ve probably felt the trade-off: health vs. sustainability, quality vs. cost, transparency vs. marketing buzzwords. Holocene exists to end that trade-off.

We’re building nutrition that works with nature—starting with the Black Soldier Fly (BSF). This remarkable insect transforms low-value organics into high-value protein and healthy fats, closing the loop in a modern, scalable way. The result: clean, consistent nutrition pets thrive on, with a dramatically lighter footprint than many conventional proteins.

Why Insect-Based Nutrition?

1) Highly digestible protein
BSF protein offers a balanced amino acid profile and a naturally high digestibility, supporting lean muscle maintenance and day-to-day vitality.

2) Gentle for sensitive pets
Many dogs and cats react to common proteins (chicken, beef, dairy). Insect protein is a novel source, making it a great option for pets with diet sensitivities.

3) Planet-first by design
BSF farming is efficient: compact land use, smart water use, and circular feedstocks. That’s good news for your pet—and the planet they’ll explore tomorrow.

4) Naturally functional fats
BSF larvae contain beneficial lipids (including lauric acid), supporting skin, coat, and overall wellness.

From Egg → Larva → Pupa → Adult: Nature’s Upcycling Engine

The Black Soldier Fly life cycle is perfectly suited for circular systems. Larvae upcycle organic matter into a dense, bioavailable nutrient source. We respect that biology with modern safety and quality controls to deliver consistent, traceable ingredients—batch after batch.

Holocene Promise: Clean formulas. Transparent sourcing. Tested for safety. No fluff.

What Makes Holocene Different

Clean label, purpose-built
Every ingredient has a job—no filler, no trend chasing. We formulate for digestibility, palatability, and real-world results for sensitive pets.

Sustainability woven into the product—not tacked on
Our hero ingredient inherently reduces strain on land and water and enables circularity. Sustainability isn’t a campaign—it’s our operating system.

Science-minded, pet-obsessed
We start with data, validate with trials, and obsess over what you see at home: stools that look healthy, energy that feels steady, skin and coat that shine.

Who Is Holocene For?

• Sensitive tummies: If your pet struggles with common proteins, Holocene’s insect-based diets are a thoughtful alternative.

• Conscious pet parents: If you care about your footprint but won’t compromise on quality, you’re our people.

• Active companions: Digestible protein + functional fats = everyday performance without heaviness.

Ingredients, The Holocene Way

• Black Soldier Fly Protein: Our complete, novel protein source—nutrient-dense and easy to digest.

• Balanced Carbohydrate Sources: Chosen for steady energy and gut friendliness.

• Functional Fibres & Prebiotics: Support a healthy microbiome.

• Targeted Micronutrients: To round out a complete, everyday diet.

No artificial colours. No needless fillers. Clear function for every ingredient.

Real-World Wins

• Digestive comfort: Many pets show improved stool quality after switching.

• Skin & coat support: Naturally supportive lipids help maintain a healthy coat sheen.

• Happy mealtimes: Pets tend to love the aroma and texture—especially picky eaters.

“Holocene is the only food that worked for Skylar—her sensitivity issues are gone and her energy is up. Exceptional quality, caring service, and a lovely team. I recommend Holocene to all my friends.” — Tameem, Holocene Community

Sustainability, Explained Simply

Traditional protein systems are resource-intensive. Holocene flips the script:

• Circularity: Larvae upcycle organics into premium nutrition.

• Resource efficiency: Compact footprint for land and water use.

• Designed for the future: Scalable biology aligned with modern safety standards.

Choosing Holocene means choosing nutrition that respects planetary limits.
