Enhancing sustainable insect farming is the main goal of the "Paving the Way for Black Soldier Fly in the Feed and Food Industry" project, which has been supported by the Danish Independent Research Fund from April 2022. It brings together specialists from several fields to enhance the use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae in converting waste products into valuable nutrients, with the goal of increasing environmental sustainability and production efficiency over a four-year period.

The project investigates cutting-edge genetic and microbiological techniques to minimize greenhouse gas emissions while boosting the growth and illness resistance of BSF larvae. The goal of this research is to improve insect farming techniques such that they are more circular economy compliant and both environmentally and economically feasible.

The project aims to change people's attitudes of insect-based products by highlighting their advantages for sustainability through focused marketing campaigns.
