1 ton of food waste + Black Soldier Fly larvae = 100kg of animal feed + 200kg of fertiliser!? Does this mean that the secret to managing biowaste is hidden in fly larvae?Founded in 2019, Entomal Biotech uses Black Soldier Fly larvae to transform organic waste into new products while reducing carbon emissions (compared to leaving the food waste in a landfill).Having made US$310,000 in revenue in 2023 and on track to grow 4.7 times to US$1.48 million in 2024, Entomal has big ambitions ahead, aiming to hit US$3.7 million in 2025 and US$5.2 million in 2026.However, given that the use of Black Soldier Flies isn't proprietary IP or technology, what is going to stop a hungrier competitor from coming in and eating their lunch (or in this case their biowaste)? We get into that, and much more, in this episode of Open For Business with Yanni Ching, Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Entomal Biotech.Among other things, Yanni shares with us:- The inspiration behind starting Entomal Biotech.- Differentiation in a non-proprietary tech market.- Entomal's value proposition and current offerings.- Challenges and milestones from inception to commercialization.- Ensuring quality and compliance in biowaste management.- Revenue growth, profitability, and future financial expectations.- Funding, investors, and strategic plans for scaling the business.
Tommie Hooft van Huysduynen shares his journey from growing up in Nigeria to co-founding Proteen, a company leading a "compost revolution" using black soldier fly larvae to transform organic waste into high-quality fertilizer. Tommie confidently demonstrates why his compost making system has the potential to create a tidal wave of positive change.♻️ Rapid Composting: Proteen's method reduces composting time from 4-5 months to just one, significantly increasing efficiency.
We don't think anyone would disagree that it is a global imperative to tackle food waste and address the economic and environmental loss it causes. Let's face it, people work hard to grow nutrients so why not turn waste into something more useful?We talk with Miha Pipan, Co-founder and CEO of Better Origin about:· The size of the problem – food waste generates 4 Gigatons (Gt) of CO2 equivalent (CO2-eq) each year· The efficiency of using the #Black Soldier Fly, they produce a high quality source of 1:1 fat:protein · Creating sustainable feed from grain waste for chickens, fish, pets….· Better Origin's X1 birth to automate insect farming on farms in the UK, and the growth to X2 the huge potential of the OriginX· Using #AI and #deeptech to make the X1 fully automated for farmers - it takes care of seeding, feeding, growth, and harvest· A partnership with Morrisons to create a carbon-neutral egg – the cost of which is an increase of pence, not pounds· A sustainable feed proposition that brings together performance, health and welfare · Changing minds and attitudes to alternative food sources· The start-up journey over the last 8-9 years, and how the bumps in the road make you more resilient.Produced by Cambridge TV Hosted on Acast.

Nchini Kenya, wakulima wameanza kukumbatia ukulima wa wadudu na hasa nzi aina ya black Soldier Fly, kama njia mbadala ya chakula cha mifugo wao.Kulingana na wanasayansi, nzi hawa wana proteni ya kiwanngo cha juu, na hivyo wanatoa nafasi bora kwa wakulima kuboresha vyakula vya mifugo yao.
I don't even know where to begin. Today, I—Mimi—interview Pat Crowley of Chapul Farms in my own state of Oregon. One of my neighbors. If you've been one of the many thousands who have viewed THIS video of black soldier fly larvae production, this is THAT, but on steroids. Pat describes Chapul: “In 2019, I launched Chapel Farms as a way to continue growing the regenerative potential of insects to bioconvert food and ag waste into healthy foods and microbial-rich soil. We work with selected domestic and international insect farms to scale their operations and provide the highest quality insect products to B to C and B to B markets… we are developing some of the world's largest insect farms focused on uncompromising sustainability metrics.” It's all true.

“It was amazing when Black Soldier Fly kind of presented themselves as a vehicle to finally put my money where my mouth was, and try and do something other than just understand things for myself, or maybe my family and friends: it's an opportunity to create a better and more resilient food system”."I like to think of myself as a scientific philosopher, critiquing the process, the speed, the priorities, the funding. With something so new and powerful and broadly applicable as insect agriculture, we have to make sure we don't bring the baggage of the systems we're trying to steer in a much better direction. We have to take this where it truly can go, which, to be honest, certainly goes well beyond our business model".Micheal Place, Chapul Farms CTO.With Micheal we talked about insect agriculture, broken systems, biomimicry, aquaculture, dancing with the devil and a personal journey around nutrition that ends up with clarity of thinking.

Guests: Dr. Katharina Unger & Pratibha YadavJoining the pubcast to discuss insect protein as an alternative for the future is Dr. Katharina Unger and Pratibha Yadav. Dr. Unger is the CEO and founder of LIVIN Farms and an expert in edible insects and food innovation. She led the conversation by introducing her background and briefly mentioning the transformation of using insects as food protein. 8:35Dr. Unger said she started questioning early in her career the required resources needed to produce livestock at a larger scale. After many years of research, carbon emissions studies and searching, an additive that can grow protein on the smallest possible footprint came to the forefront; insect protein. 9:41Dr. Unger mentioned insect protein is highly digestible and for animals has an attractive taste. In addition, the environmental impacts of turning waste into protein is an effective organic byproduct. 11:05Yadav discussed how the opportunity to utilize the black soldier fly was a decision based on its opportunity to offer low quality substrates and synthesize biomolecules into amino acids quickly. 19:30While LIVIN Farms continues to have projects in Europe, Dr. Unger mentioned the team also does additional research in other regions which allows a wide variety of demographics to study when analyzing substrates and improvement factors. 23:17Yadav said byproducts are already there for certain insect substrates and byproducts. In fact, she went on to say it's a practical option as livestock production systems can be fed insects by crushing, mixing or distributing them as a way to save on costs and processing fees as well. 32:52 While the entire insect larva process is vertical farming, Dr. Unger mentioned from the start of production to the automated warehouse and then into the two layer systems, they are never dependent on the soil. 39:10In an effort to produce with the smallest possible footprint, the input substrate must have an adequate amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates during the nutrient composition, Yadav mentioned. 41:43Wrapping up the conversation, Dr. Unger summarized the visionary work being done with insects as protein alternatives and restated the value the resource has on the planet's ability to secure the food system and provide indefinite solutions for the future. 1:07:25Please subscribe and share with your industry friends to bring more people to join us around the Real Science Exchange virtual pub table.

INSEACT changes this by replacing fish protein with insect protein. INSEACT grows black soldier fly larvae fed with waste from the palm oil industry that was otherwise destined for landfill. INSEACT's unique protein application in shrimp aquaculture performs more profitably than traditional feed options.This improved performance allows INSEACT to achieve impact at scale, with a focus in Asia. The high-performance protein product INSEACT offers diverts agri-waste back from landfill back into the foodstream to close the circular economy loop. The INSEAD mission is to provide sustainable and healthy food sources for the world through innovative technologies.The founders met at INSEAD MBA, have a background in food entrepreneurship and industrial scale-up, and previously worked at the European market leader in insect protein.Michael is a former engineer consultant at a global top 10 engineering firm where he designed industrial facilities such as algae production factories. He has also scaled a venture-backed B2B startup and serves as advisor for a VC firm's portfolio companies. As INSEACT's COO, Michael is in charge of operations and insect protein production.

Phoebe Gardner is the co-founder and CEO of Bardee, a truly novel solution to climate change. Well have ya heard of composting? It's a neat idea to take food waste that would otherwise generate methane gas in landfills and repurpose it for fertilizer. The trouble is, it takes a long time to do it. Bardee has taken that process one step further. They use Black Solder Fly larvae to turn food waste into a usable product in just seven days, while actually being carbon positive. Honestly, it's a remarkable solution to a huge problem, and her team has raised millions in funding so far. ➡️ https://www.bardee.com/
There are concerns conventional protein feed ingredients for animal feeds are becoming increasingly unsustainable.

Jeune ingénieur commercial diplômé de l'ICHEC, originaire de Chaumont-Gistoux, François Nolet est un entrepreneur vert, il réalise son stage chez Günter Pauli où il se passionne pour la Blue Economy. Lors d'une mission au ministère de l'environnement à Buenos Aires, il rencontre Julien Laurençon, adepte lui aussi de la transition écologique. Ils décident de créer ensemble Procens, à Balcarce, dans la pampa proche de Mar del Plata. Dans leur ferme branchée biotechnologie, une petite équipe de 18 personnes travaille chaque jour pour convertir les déchets alimentaires des toutes proches brasseries et usines de transformation de pommes de terre en engrais naturel, permettant à la matière organique et aux nutriments de suivre leur cycle naturel et de re-nourrir le sol. Ils découvrent et élèvent aussi la Black Soldier Fly, un insecte originaire d'Amérique Latine largement reconnu pour son potentiel comme agent de bioconversion. A l'heure où le prix des céréales flambe, cet insecte est une alternative intéressante pour nourrir le bétail, surtout dans un pays de carnivores où l'élevage intensif de bovins cause pas mal de ravages à la planète. L' élevage d'insectes est nettement moins émetteur de gaz à effet de serre, il prend moins de place et demande beaucoup moins d'eau. Sans compter que coléoptères, chenilles et sauterelles pourraient aussi constituer une bonne alimentation pour l'homme : il y a 2 fois plus protéines dans des vers de farine que dans le bœuf. Procens est en plein développement et n'a pas fini de nous surprendre… Pour agrémenter votre brunch ce dimanche matin, nous aurons aussi des empanadas livrés par Aldana Sata. Originiaire de Quilmes, la ville de la bière argentine, elle débarque seule en Europe au début du siècle. Après quelques galères où elle se fait exploiter en Allemagne, elle arrive en Belgique où elle reprend une formation en tourisme et gestion d'entreprises. A force de courage et de travail acharné, elle finit par fonder sa petite société PEPE EMPANADAS. Elle prépare ces chaussons en pâte feuilletée farcis de viande, de poisson, d'œufs, de pomme de terre, selon les recettes de sa grand-mère et les bons plans de son papa. Avec son food-truck, elle va de festival en festival, de Couleur Café à Esperanzah, en passant par les marchés éphémères de La Ruche qui dit Oui ! Elle y sert aussi Choripans, Chimichurri et...Dulce de Leche qu'elle prépare de façon artisanale dans son atelier de Wavre. Elle s'adapte aussi à la demande du BW en créant une gamme de produits bio, végan, végétariens, etc… Qui dit Argentine, dit aussi tango ! Anne Pollard nous présentera, à Jurbise, le groupe Astoria dans lequel musiciens belges et argentins reprennent les classiques d'Astor Piazolla Les Belges du bout du monde avec Adrien Joveneau, chaque dimanche entre 9 et 10 heures sur La Première.

If black soldier fly larvae could enter competitive eating contests, they would excel, especially when it comes to eating nasty stuff that we don't want around or wouldn't think of eating ourselves. The ability of the black soldier fly to convert low-grade organic waste into high-quality nutrients has opened-up a ground-breaking prospect for the large-scale production of animal feed. The high protein content of insects provides an immense opportunity to develop sustainable technology for the production of animal feed at a low cost. kanthari participant Adegbite Tobi Gabriel from Nigeria tell us about that.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Biology project in search of first author: imaging the brain of popular farmed insect Black Soldier Fly, published by Holly_Elmore on the AI Alignment Forum. I developed this project as an employee of Rethink Priorities. Without access to a lab or instrument core facilities, I cannot complete it myself. I will gladly collaborate with anyone who wants to do the imaging work to obtain funding or connections. I also commit to assisting whoever completes this project in publishing the results in an academic journal if they so desire. The project is very straightforward, but potentially high impact because Black Soldier Fly larvae are and will be farmed in such numbers and because the study of its nervous system has been so neglected. Because of the short timeline and defined labor requirements, I think this is an excellent opportunity for a high school, undergraduate, or graduate student to gain low-committment lab experience while working on an effective animal altruism/animal welfare project. If you are interested in working on this project, have a lead on someone who is, or want to share useful resources, please message me at holly@rethinkpriorities.org. Abstract Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is poised to become one of the largest insect crops in the coming decades, with trillions of larvae projected to be raised for slaughter each year. Yet little is known about the capacities of these animals for sentience or suffering. H. illucens is a dipteran, in the same Order as powerhouse model insect Drosophila melanogaster. Comparatively much is known about the cognitive sophistication of D. melanogaster as well as their capacity to suffer, and this information could be leveraged to assess the capacities of H. illucens. Here, I proposed confocal or lightsheet microscopy of larval H. illucens brains so that the images may be compared to those of D. melanogaster. Research Plan Specific aims Obtain detailed images of the H. illucens larval brain. Use detailed images of the H. illucens larval brain to compare to D. melanogaster's larval brain, which has been extensively studied in connection to its behavior, which has been used to infer D. melanogaster experience. Improve our understanding of the experiences of H. illucens larvae. Predict the experience of H. illucens larvae under farmed conditions. Research design and methods The plan is to obtain detailed images of the brain using confocal or lightsheet microscopy. No culturing should be necessary, so any larvae will do. (It would be ideal to use the same strain as farms, though they may not be available in small enough quantities, and little is known about the worldwide genetic structure of H. illucens.) New protocols may have to be developed for preparing H. illucens tissue for imaging, though the well-developed D. melanogaster protocols may suffice and at the very least serve as an informed starting point. Images of the H. illucens larval brain will be compared to similarly-obtained images of the D. melanogaster larval brain, which has been linked to experiences of pain and indicators of possible suffering and sentience by extensive study. The H. illucens image should be taken with a specific D. melanogaster reference in mind so they can be prepared as similarly as possible to minimize uncontrolled variation between them. The selection of a D. melanogaster reference will depend on many factors, most notably the availability of similar technology and skill for the H. illucens imaging and how well that reference captures brain features relevant to sentience and suffering. Budget and Justification Obtaining larvae: ~$20 from pet food stores or free from colleagues. Extra expense may be justified to obtain strains being used in agriculture, although it is not clear how distinct these are from those available for sale in...
My choice for the second gift giving recommendation is a cup of Black Soldier Fly Larva! BSFL (as the are called) are a nutritious feeder that can give your chameleon diet variety.

Olympia Yarger filled a knowledge gap in my brain: the beauty of maggots. I never fully appreciated maggots, particularly of the black soldier fly, until I interviewed her. We also chatted about her husband's military career and the challenges of being a military family with a touching story about one of their family dogs. Olympia is helping reshape waste management as the founder and current CEO of Goterra, located in Australia. Her drive towards more efficient farming and reducing food waste has led to a new kind of insect farming using autonomous robotics. She is a determined, resilient, and larvae-loving-leader in the fight to develop a circular relationship between nature, technology, and food consumption. Something new this week on Remarkable People podcast!
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says that the world population is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2050. Further, by 2050, in every five children born, two will be born in Africa. Already, the rate of urbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa is unmatched compared to the rest of the world. The urban population is expected to nearly triple to 1.34 billion people by 2050. Population increase means rising demand for food and increased pressure on natural resources such as land by which we grow food. In Kenya, John Mwaura Kiriko, a businessperson from Kikuyu town about 20 kilometres from Nairobi city, is growing fish in a greenhouse and rearing black soldier fly larvae to feed his fish protein alternative. The technology occupies about 30by15 feets land for each greenhouse. Mwaura has built two greenhouses where he is rearing about 5500 fish and tons of larvae. Mwaura uses the raised pond technology to construct ponds using timber placed on the ground and lined with dam liners. Kamau says the greenhouse farming raised pond technology is ideal for producing food for rising populations using the smallest available land. Sourced from Ecodudu – a waste-to-value company in Kenya, Black Soldier Flies (BSF) have transformed the waste into high-quality protein in the larvae stage. Used as alternative protein additives in animal feed. The eggs laid by the Black Soldier Flies are grown in greenhouse conditions within 21 days after which it's harvested. Mwaura has switched from horticulture for export business he has practiced for years to fish and larva farming. Why is the greenhouse farming raised pond technology ideal for producing food for rising populations using the smallest available land?
On this week's show, Spain grapples with the environmental impact of the renewable energy boom. Young entrepreneurs in Kenya discover how a tiny critter can make a big impact on food waste. And Mexico takes the lead in kicking the herbicide glyphosate to the curb for the sake of its native bees.

Would you like to fill your backyard bird feeders with a superior energy source that results in stronger eggshells during nesting season and healthier feathers? In 2007, Enterra was formed to find new, sustainable protein sources for animal feed and to address the surge in food waste. Its products harness the nutritional power of insects to create sustainable and healthy animal feed and pet food. Advertising sales director Kelly Ball recently met with Enterra’s chief technology officer, Andrew Vickerson, to discuss how black solider fly larvae as animal feed is not only healthier for animals, but more sustainable for the planet than conventional protein-based food sources: They naturally “upcycle” nutrients from organic matter; they’re ethically manufactured in North America rather than overseas; and raising insects vs. traditional livestock produces much less greenhouse gas. Overall, black solider fly larvae are an efficient, low-impact nutritional source compared to resource-intensive alternatives like poultry, beef, pork, fishmeal, soymeal, and coconut and palm kernel oils. Kelly also chats with Tom Goldsborough, an avid birder who recently conducted a survey of his backyard feeders to determine whether songbirds preferred black soldier fly larvae over mealworms (spoiler alert: the black soldier flies prevail!). This episode is sponsored by Enterra. If you would like to be considered for participation in a grubs vs mealworms preference study, please contact marketing@enterra.com or visit us at https://enterra.com/wild-bird/.

Olympia Yarger is the Founder and CEO of GOTERRA, an Australian-based waste management company that redefines the idea of food waste through decentralized waste management. Their company’s primary goal is to manage food and animal waste using insects of which the byproduct could be used as a feed additive. This approach is an alternative and sustainable way of feeding livestock that also reduces global waste. Today, Olympia shares how maggots can help solve global food waste. She describes what it was like to start a maggot farm, how to manage one, and what makes it unique compared to typical farms. She also explains how maggots convert food waste to animal feed and how this could be the future of sustainable agriculture. “It's one thing to get the flies to do the act and get viable eggs, but it's another to manage consistency of production at any scale.” - Olympia Yarger This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast: The problems they initially encountered with their maggots when they were starting out. What it's like to run a maggot farm vs a typical farm. What a Black Soldier Fly farm looks like. How much food waste could one shipping container go through? How they structure their business model. How long it takes to raise maggots. What they do with waste that wasn't consumed. Food items they can't use in the farm. Olympia Yarger’s Words of Wisdom: You can streamline insect farming in a way that makes it affordable and also gives you access to a wave of ideas. There is a need to breed a lot of maggot eggs and refine the system in a way that is commercially viable.
