[Enter the Insects: How the black soldier fly can help turn the global protein crisis around]

Dr. Greg Wanger, Oberland Agriscience
Insect farming is a growing industry whose goal is to help address the protein crisis. Currently the planet is facing several crises - the protein crisis is one not often talked about. With the growing human population putting increasing pressure onto food systems, we need alternative protein sources to help cover this gap. Enter the insects, specifically the black soldier fly (BSF), which can bio convert our food waste into a high-protein insect meal. This insect meal is a fantastic ingredient in agriculture, aquaculture and even pet foods. The extremely high efficiency of insect farming allows us to produce this protein ingredient at the lowest carbon footprint for any protein source on the planet.

this has, hands down, been one of the best videos I have watched in months. SO helpful

I am going to do this in Thailand for food for my tiger prawn venture

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

@shannonprimrose9336 - Whereabouts in Thailand? Do you farm mud crabs as well?

[@BonsaiAce0727]

indeed an absolute quality presentation! great help for us who are planning to start in BSF farming, thank you and more power sir!

Banning fish farming? What's next? Can you sense the elitist "ATTITUDE" here?

[@user-cs1gc5wk2r]

Awesome presentation , AND awesome success in your project

[@soilgardengro6942]

Thank you for your sharing ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

what lights are you using?

That stupid "carbon footprint" is replacing profit-and-loss as the standard of performance, success, and failure.

Im keen to engage with you Greg, thank you. Welcome to Malaysia

These farms can produce waste equivalent to that of small towns, and it's simply discharged into the water. Personally, I am against this type of farming, especially when we have viable alternatives like land-based Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) that don't present the same waste disposal issues as net pens. I don't perceive his viewpoint as elitist, but rather as rational and logical.

​@@Steve-cn5upwhat kind of waste, please?

[@shannonprimrose9336]

any info you can share to me on your setup would be most appreciated can I give you my email address /.
