Why Black SOldier Fly
No Threat To Humans
Black soldier flies do not transmit any diseases and are not considered a pest to humans. They can be found naturally in local ecosystems around the world.
High Growth Rate
Compared to other insects, it has the potential to gain up to 5,000 times its own body weight in two weeks. This enables us to harvest it efficiently as a source of protein.
Highly Adaptable
Besides being able to adapt to different environments, the black soldier fly can consume and breakdown a variety of food waste streams at incredibly fast rates.
Organic Waste
Approximately 60% of solid waste in Nigeria is organic, typically consisting of vegetable, food and other debris that degrade rapidly. In just Ibadan, about 820,000kg of organic waste is generated everyday. Rotting organic waste emits methane which is 23 times as potent as CO2 as a greenhouse gas. It also contaminates soil, air and water systems and are breeding ground for diseases.
Black Soldier Fly
Entojutu work with small and middle scale farmers to aid transition to earth friendly agricultural method using the black soldier fly.
Entojutu feeds organic-waste to Black Soldier Fly larvae. After a short rearing period these larvae can be harvested, dried and processed into high-quality protein feed for livestock production.
Black Soldier Flies are incredibly efficient in converting ingested organic matter into harvestable protein, and what they leave behind is organic fertilizer.
