GENE MUTATION

Black Soldier Fly larvae eat any type of organic waste: your food scrap, rotting meat, decomposing fruit and vegetables. Things might be a little bit difficult with the hard type of organic waste such as bones, egg shells, wood, and hard fruit shells (coconut shell, avocado seed), but you could crush it and put it into the compost mixture or use it as a growing bed for the BSF larvae.

It’s amazing that BSF larvae could eliminate organic waste almost completely and reduce the production of greenhouse gas without using non-renewable resources in its process. Black Soldier Fly serves 3 important values: environmental, nutritional, and economical.

To conclude all the benefits of Black Soldier Fly larvae:

1. Black Soldier Fly larvae is environmentally-friendly and supports circular economy
2. As long as you have a place and source of organic waste, starting Black Soldier Fly nursery is relatively cheap compared to other type of business 
3. The life cycle of Black Soldier Fly is less than 50 days, so it’s pretty quick to start the organic waste processing and to sell the larvae and compost as the results
4. Black Soldier Fly larvae is high in protein and great for animal feed or cattle feed
5. Organic waste is best to be processed as fast as possible and at the source, so establishing a Black Soldier Fly nursery in the housing area or district level might be a great solution in the future.

Imagine a fish farm business owner, having enough space to establish its own black soldier fly nursery to produce feed for his fishes. Or a market manager that wants to make sure that the food that did not pass to the consumers could still serve some values.
