This machine-learning technology enables growers to produce a steady supply of beneficial insects on-site, allowing for continuous and preventative pest control. By removing the need for specific insect expertise on-site, Omma offers a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly agricultural solutions. 

Omma ran its first trial in summer 2025 and  in July 2025 SAIC members contributed 40% to the initial raising of funds. The success of the trial has led to significant commercial  interest and SAIC members have invested further in March/April 2026. 

“We were impressed by  Omma’s  vision and how they have tackled the issue” said Michael Penny who led the follow up due diligence for SAIC. “They have a practical  approach to solving a significant  market challenge and we’re greatly encouraged by the progress they have made in a short time period.”
