#NairobiKenya has a 10m long greenhouse growing #blacksoldierflies, fed with food waste from local markets. The frass is sold as fertilizer. Operating costs are low. Waste digestion is exceptionally rapid compared to traditional composting #lowcostwastemanaagementsolution

Increasingly #blacksoldierflies are being used to convert foodwaste to agricultural use. They reproduce fairly quickly & their larva daily consume 4x their own body waste in organic matter. #Insectfarming is becoming big business, especially in the EU & Africa.
