Summary
Insects used for feed can improve waste management and enhance food security. Black soldier fly production systems utilize diverse feedstocks, including fruits, vegetables, animal byproducts, and food waste to nourish larvae, which are then processed into products such as live or dried larvae, protein meal, and oil for animal feed. Thus, black soldier fly larvae technology presents an innovative, circular bioeconomy solution that offers waste bioconversion and sustainable feed production.
