Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) eat decomposing organic matter. This is why they are common in backyard composts, where they help scraps break down more quickly.

Commercially produced BSFL also consume food waste. Most of this pre-consumer food waste comes from factories that process fruits and vegetables, or from breweries.

Pre-consumer food waste often goes to landfill, which uses land, pollutes the environment, and creates greenhouse gases. Rather than creating more rubbish, Black Solider Fly Larvae reuse waste that would otherwise go to landfill, turning it into protein for animal feed and compost for farms and gardens.

Black Solider Fly Larvae are so efficient at processing waste and such a good source of protein, that Forbes magazine has labelled them the “superstars of sustainable aquaculture.” The Washington Post also sees the potential of BSFL as an environmentally friendly solution to green-waste disposal.

Dine a Chook Black Soldier Fly Larvae are produced in Australia, so they have a low carbon footprint. Their vegetarian diet is 100 % trackable, single origin, pre-consumer food waste. This prevents landfill and greenhouse gas production.
