Maggots and rotting food waste: a new recipe for sustainable fish and animal feed

Entomics Biosystems, a company set up by a group of Cambridge students, is developing a sustainable feed of the future - based on maggots and food waste.

I find it very interesting
Actually, its time for Tanzanian Youths to start thinking on how we would keep our environment clean by using home wastes to feed maggot(rich in protein) and thus produce fish meal, manure and other animal meals

I wish I can buy your technology and implement it here in Borneo. I can help so many farmers to increase their product quality. I work as government employee but most of the employees don't give a shit about how to improve technology for their own people . They just want to spend the government budget for anything than can increase their own pocket

Pretty useful for interplanetary colonies and terraforming teams. When raising poultry and use the maggots for creating soil.

Bravo! Very exciting work. I hope as your work progresses, you have a strong communications plan to disseminate your findings/opportunities, and not just through peer-reviewed literature.

How do you make them grow
Can you use them for feeding pigs 😊

Very interesting! If "you are what you eat" is important: the salmon should feed off smaller fish, plankton etc. Do the maggots eat rotting fish etc., to keep the cycle going; how does it work? It's probably a silly question; I'm just curious.
