The growing human population, changing dietary habits and intensifying competition
between food and feed production underline the urgent need to explore novel sustainable …

Organic waste is a rapidly increasing problem due to the growth of the agricultural
production needed to meet global food demands. Development of sustainable waste …

Bioconversion is a biological process by which organic materials are converted into
products with higher biological and commercial value. During its larval stage the black …

The interest in using byproducts from agro-food industries as a rearing substrate for insects
is increasing rapidly. We investigated the influence of byproducts of vegetal origin (okara—a …

Food waste (FW) contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, burdens waste management
systems, worsens food insecurity, and reduces biodiversity. Consequently, upcycling …

Black soldier fly larvae composting is an emerging treatment option with potential to improve
biowaste valorization in cities of low-income countries. This study surveyed the current …

The use of organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) was evaluated by rearing black
soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and by producing biomethane from the derived residual larval …

Research on bioconversion based on insects is intensifying as it addresses the problem of
reducing and reusing food and industrial waste. To reach this goal, we need to find more …

The black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, is used in entomoremediation processes
because its larvae can use a variety of organic residues with high efficiency. However, feed …

The black soldier fly (BSF) is becoming a novel farm animal. BSF larvae can be reared on
different substrates. Their performance is important but highly variable and different models …
