Organic waste into high quality nutrients
The Insect Farms’ highlights:
Improve Food Security
Black Soldier Flies (BSF) provides domestic source of protein, feed for livestock and therefore improve food security.
Reduce Greenhouse gas Emissions
Black Soldier Flies Larvae (BSFL) are excellent bioconverters, transforming organic waste that would otherwise go to landfills into valuable protein. By utilizing BSFL, farmers can significantly reduce waste and minimize their environmental impact.
Diversify into Premium Markets
There is a growing market for insect-based products, such as animal feed, snacks and pet food. The frass can be used as a natural fertilizer for horticulture and agriculture
