Working at
Hey Planet

Hey Planet (previously Wholi) is a Copenhagen-based green startup developing sustainable foods using insects. The production of insects emits 100 times less CO2 than cattle, and insect production is even more sustainable in terms of water usage and land area than soy beans and chickpeas.  Our mission is to promote edible insects as they are rich in nutrients, taste delicious and are a sustainable food source. We do this by offering healthy and tasty snacks that are appealing to the eye and mouth. Learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3H6sAfflEc
