Closing the Loop: Black Soldier Fly technology to convert agricultural waste
Black soldier flies feed on agricultural waste, and the resulting larvae and their excrement is rich in protein. Through black soldier fly farming, farmers can convert agricultural waste into high-quality fertilisers and potential protein sources for livestock feed. This multidisciplinary project aims to develop black soldier fly larvae and excrement of insects as a low-cost, tailored, slow-release, granulated fertiliser product that is safe to handle, store, transport and apply.
