AgriProtein, an Insect Farm for a Sustainable Future

South African fly farm, AgriProtein, is making waves with its innovative and back to basics approach to manufacturing farm feed.

Watch this fascinating video to see how AgriProtein are using using food waste to farm maggots, which creates feed for chickens and pigs, replacing the fishmeal they are often fed. The process also makes natural fertilizer.

There are many reasons why this process is so environmentally-friendly; from the reduction of methane gas caused when food waste rots in landfill, to the reduced carbon footprint of feeding animals and more fish stock in the sea. One great idea, many wins.
