Turning food waste into animal feed
Food waste accounts for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
If it was up to nature, waste wouldn’t exist – it would be absorbed by the soil or eaten by insects.
Inside the Better Origin systems, black soldier fly larvae consume food waste and grow to provide nutrient-rich insect products.

“The Better Origin team are working to fundamentally change our broken food chain, for the benefit of everyone.”
“If insects could reduce the dominance of rainforest-destroying soy as the feed of choice for UK chickens, the benefits could be enormous.”
“Insects could well become the future for feed
in egg farming.”
