Brilliant! I just ordered 1,000 maggots off E-bay for my compost. We had them last year and the compost was magically turned into pure dirt. Our garden was unbelievable this year, and nothing added except the results of the composting.
anyway to buy some of their produce? I feel like consuming something that has only eaten coffee grinds it's whole life, might be exactly what I need to help wake up!
In the US soldier flies are used for fish food to increase seafood production. In the UK they use it on farms. That little bugger's going to get very valuable.
i do use de- watered pure poultry not fermented waste as substrate for my black soldier fly larvae to feed on and if i have to be honest with you guys, i have totally replaced soya bean with black soldier fly larvae in my fishery, piggery and poultry , i can now smile all the way.
I tried fried caterpillars in Thailand, and I am addicted to them. They taste like french fries, only 10 times better, and probably much healthier than potatoes.
I find this very interesting and I can see it as a short-term solution to reduce the deforestation that happens to make room for soy which will later feed cows, for example. But, it is indeed like taking a painkiller for a broken leg - it takes away the pain but does not solve the issue. We need to focus on changing the way we eat so we don't need to find solutions to feed all these animals. I still applaud the effort as every move in the right direction is a good one!
If nothing else, insect meal can be used to feed fish which need even less feed than chickens do. Hopefully lab-grown and plant-based meat will dominate sooner than we think. Lab-grown fish seems to be further off, though.
@@meh23p plant based meat isn't a better solution either, We have to learn how to provide for ourselves, instead of clearing out huge swafts of land for commercial revenue the commercial incentive of farming makes people take more than is needed and is unsustainable. I think we should be looking at ways to farm within our own backyard and find ways to use the action of insects on plant waste to turn unsuable celluose into a food source And I don't like the concept of lab grown meat because it brings in a load of problems as you have to add in already usuable proteins lets say from soy when you could have ate the soy yourself its a middle man for no reason. All you have to do is change the perception of foods to Americans aka eating insects, but also eating plants and eating fish but not wasting anything, and promote the concept that not everything is trash, it is wasteful to dump our food waste in landfills why not turn it into a protein source for you or your fish
@@BossOfAllTrades yeah, plant-based meat isn't a solution at all. If we all go vegetarian today we would have to deforest practically everything to make room for all the new farmlands, since our agriculture is an absolute garbo. But imagine if every big farm would start aquaponics, have their own maggot farm as a fish food source, some sort of renewable energy source for the heating and all the automation work, and deals with local shops and houses so they can collect their food waste. For a fraction of the price, fraction of water and hardly any energy at all we could be making more food than we can eat, basically without any wastes because it would go back into the system if unused. You could obviously scale it down to single households, but that's not possible in the big city and small apartment.

People are up in arms about deforestation in the Amazon - signing petitions, protesting in the streets, posting on FB+IG, etc. To really make a difference though, we need to adopt lower-resource-footprint protein, on a major scale. Beef and pork are the prime reasons South American forests are suffering from chainsaws and arson - whether for grazing, or for soy (that's either fed to the animals in South America, or exported to China, Europe, etc to feed livestock there.) While we're at it, we need to reconsider our notions of the term "disgusting." I wouldn't want to eat raw larvae, just as I wouldn't want to bite into a raw cow. It's called cooking/ preparation. Best of luck Entocycle.👊
Permaculture projects on a local community scale is the answer, not adding more problems to the existing problem. Yes we're overpopulated, but we're also lazy and depend on junk food as a convenient food source.
We were annoyed by flies, however they have been used a long time to feed fish until Western government outlawed it and are now pretending to be your savior and legalizing it again.
yep,they give birth to surplus worn one cup could generate same amount of flies and other bucket full is for nature,similar to Indonesian worm farm...but UK facility is lit....hence I liked this video....faculty +personnel are great...
This is brilliant! But I think China may be ahead of the game on this... Nevertheless, scaled up to large industrial size operation, the larval container atmospheres can be captured, scrubbed/refined etc. for use of those gases.
Better be carefully with China products because they grow cheap as can be seen with their products getting people sick .They grow with animal manure which is very toxic for any consumption.
Nicolas Vanlangendonck i wouldn't think so. Basically the temperature in a normal compost pile increases because of the decaying process. In this setup there is no decaying process as the larvae are eating everything and you are left with their waste. If you were to throw the larvae into a normal composting bin the heat may be an issue eventually, but if you aren't severely overfeeding them it should not be a problem here.
So many people are against eating fly larvae today. I don't there will be as much resistance when there are packaged fly larvae burgers, chicken nuggets and whatever else offered at a fraction of the price of traditional animal protein.
It’s gonna take a lot to get people to eat maggots (even if they are just ground up), I myself find it disgusting. But I still think it’s a brilliant idea to use these for aquaculture and other animal feed
i want to ask is coffee waste do u use from company or from cafetaria around the street? is the larvae can eat coffee waste from our coffee drink? because there is alot of cafetaria in my place Thank You
Food shortages will be solved in the way they always are - the powerful countries will take from the weak. Black soldier fly larvae are a good way to convert waste to livestock food, though.
Thank you hope I could contact you for more info how to breed, ang how to build those machine saw in the video. Iam in the phils. I want to teach and tell them the natural way feeding our fish. And other
He uses a sifter, but the great thing about BSFL is when they are ready to pupate, the large ones (black in color) will by their own nature crawl away from the compost or food source or whatever. Most people provide them with a ramp, they crawl up the ramp, and then fall down into a holding container of some kind. And then they are collected.
Is the food source clean? Isn’t it supposed to go off by the time the larvae about to eat it? That means the larvae is surrounded by off food. How can u clean the larvae ?
Jaydon Nguyen actually it is not true;D Their skin is not really hydrophobic but when they out of feeding pulp they dry quite fast and they clean so You dont need to wash them. Also symbiothic bacteria cares for absent of pathogens. For more info just type "symbiothic bacteria hermetia illucens" in google there is some articela about it.
If that's all you think happens to it, it probably helps you sleep better. Although it's not legally done in the US anymore, it used to be fairly common to feed human feces to pigs.
Sorry but you are not getting the west eating those even in powder form but to feed livestock they will be perfect as long as their food source is kept to a decent quality .
That is not true. There are those who think like you, but then there is the other 50% who vote Democrat. The Leftist and Democrats have or will embrace. Just like LGBTQYZ parades, they will gorge on maggots in public, just to put themselves on display.
