We provide consulting services (see our Q&A's, Blog and Products & Services) regarding Black Soldier fly (H. illucens) applications in getting you up and running in recycling food scrap catering and kitchen waste .

Black Soldier flies, also known as BSF, are harmless, non-pest outdoor insects that have been silently recycling organic wastes outdoors for thousands of years - true experts in the art of recycling waste! Black Soldier fly larvae, also referred to as BSFLs, growing off food scrap waste are an excellent source of high quality protein

In the wild they are sought out and devoured by many birds, amphibians, herps and other animals. They can also be formulated into animal feedstocks used in farming fish such as tilapia, catfish, and salmonids in addition to domesticated chickens, quail, ducks and other poultry livestock.

Working with BSF is one way home gardners and farmers can check off the garbage pick-up grid. Pay yourself with savings realized by eliminating garbage pick-up fees

Potentially valuable byproducts isolated from food scrap waste processed by BSF, including the discovery of new and novel antibiotics, and applications concerning soil remediation work, may also through further research become an additional income generating source

In addition, the leachate fraction, which is a mixtue of soluble nutrients released from decaying food waste and larval frass, the excrement released by larvae feeding on the waste, and left over spent waste recovered from Black Soldier Fly processing of food scrap waste, recycled back into soil,  appear to be of significant agricultural value 

Our website provides insight and practical knowledge on how to propagate BSF, how to build and manage bioreactors in scaling up BSF production, how to sustain consistent BSF output, and  methods of inducing and collecting BSF egg clutches and the transfer of egg clutches directly into food waste using steay-state production of BSFL pioneered by research studies in our pilot test facility.

DipTerra's primary goal in publishing information on methods of farming BSF and BSF applications relating to the recycling of food scrap waste is to share scientifically vetted, practical and environmentally earth-friendly methods that have been field tested in our pilot plant facility aimed at maximizing the bioconversion of decaying wastes into useful end products.
