Why The World Needs Black Soldier Flies Now More Than Ever.

The world needs to grow more food to accomodate projected growth in human population in the coming decades. This demands an exponential increase in animal protein production to match this growth. With the increasing cost of animal feeds, the world needs a more sustainable source of protein to sustain its animal production activities. The popular high quality protein sources (e.g Soybean meal and Fishmeal) are becoming more and more out of reach and expensive to produce and access for the average livestock farmer. To add to that, humans are generating more waste than their capacity to manage, no thanks to growing human population, change in consumption patterns, upward mobility, urbanization, etc. These untreated wastes contribute enormously to the negative effects of climate change being witnessed the world over. And unfortunately, these challenges are more pronounced in low and middle income or developing countries, where much of the earlier mentioned growth are being projected to take place. BSF technology, due to its combined waste reduction and value creation features, arguably presents the most promising solution to these challenges.
