IT28-BIOECO_FLIES/W2BSF

Valorisation of by-products from vegetable supply chains using insects: new solutions for food, agronomic and energy uses

Description

Agricultural residues will be used to grow Black Soldier Fly larvae, which will be processed into protein, lipid, and chitin fractions

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

to valorize agrifood biomass beyond the typical low added value applicaitons such as fertilizer or biomass for digesters

Objective

Black Soldier Fly Larvae can convert agrifood residues into compounds with high nutrition value, hence using this insect low value added biowaste can be converted into valuable products for feed and food uses
