<aside> 🌏 Creating new food options with sustainable next generation protein
</aside>
Morus is a university-based startup company with a focus on food and nutrition science of silkworms. We are introducing new high-protein food sources based on world-class research using domesticated silkworms from Japan.

One of the major issues that needs to be addressed today is the global food crisis. Innovative ideas are emerging around the world to solve food shortages, hidden hunger, and environmental pollution caused by animal agriculture. We believe it is important for the human race to work together to find optimal solutions for this pressing global issue.
Our approach begins with Japanese silkworms, highly valuable resources that have been in cultivation in Japan for a couple hundred years. Japan leads the world in silkworm research.
We believe taking advantage of Japan’s strengths in the silkworm research and food business will lead to solving the global food crisis. Simultaneously, we hope to take part in the Japanese economy by disseminating new technologies developed in Japan.
I cannot achieve this goal all by myself, but with the right team, I believe we can work together to create the future of this planet. Would you be interested in joining us on this important journey?

We have set the following three as our purpose, and we would like to invite those who can sympathize with us to participate.
We value “S cubed”: Shinshu University x Science x Silkworms
It is predicted that the balance between protein supply and demand will collapse by 2030 due to the increase in the global population. Increasing the amount of livestock to meet the demand is not favorable considering the environmental impact. That is where insects come in.
