Find comprehensive answers to common questions about sustainable agriculture, Black Soldier Fly farming, and our innovative organic solutions.

Black Soldier Fly larvae are the larval stage of the Hermetia illucens fly. They are incredibly efficient at converting organic waste into high-quality protein and nutrients. These larvae can process food waste, agricultural residues, and other organic materials, transforming them into valuable products like protein meal, oil, and organic fertilizer (frass). They're important because they offer a sustainable solution to waste management while producing valuable agricultural inputs.
Organic frass offers several advantages over synthetic fertilizers. It provides slow-release nutrients, improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and promotes beneficial microbial activity. Unlike chemical fertilizers, frass doesn't cause soil acidification or groundwater contamination, making it a sustainable long-term solution for soil health. Studies show frass can increase crop yields by 25-40% while improving soil biology.
Yes, insect protein from Black Soldier Fly larvae is safe when properly processed. It's rich in essential amino acids, contains beneficial fatty acids, and has been approved by various food safety authorities worldwide. Many countries already include insect protein in animal feed, and it's increasingly being accepted for human consumption as well. Our processing facilities maintain strict quality control standards to ensure product safety.
Our BSF farming methods have a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to traditional livestock farming. They require 95% less land, 99% less water, and produce 99% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, by converting organic waste into valuable products, we're contributing to a circular economy and reducing landfill waste. Our operations are carbon-negative, meaning we sequester more carbon than we produce.
