At Entojutu, our dedication to sustainable agriculture is demonstrated through the launch of a groundbreaking fish pond project that utilizes both conventional feed and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. This innovative initiative, currently in its pilot phase, highlights our commitment to integrate eco-friendly practices into all aspects of food production. The fish pond research explores the effectiveness of using BSF larvae alongside conventional feed as a sustainable protein source, which not only reduces reliance on traditional feed but also promotes a circular economy by transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich feed for aquaculture.

The waste transformation process is at the heart of this project. Organic waste, which would otherwise be discarded, is converted into a valuable resource through the use of BSF larvae. This process ensures that waste is recycled, feeding the larvae that are then used to nourish the fish. It’s a closed-loop system that maximizes resource efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and enhances food security. By doing this, Entojutu is not only minimizing waste but also creating a sustainable solution for the future of food and feed production. Our team is diligently monitoring the growth, health, and productivity of the fish, gathering data that will be essential for scaling the project in the future. The pilot results will provide key insights into how BSF larvae can serve as a viable alternative feed source in aquaculture, enhancing both sustainability and profitability.

This project reinforces Entojutu’s leadership in sustainable agriculture and feed production across Africa. An update on the progress of the fish pond project, along with detailed findings on the performance of BSF as an alternative feed, will be featured in our fourth-quarter newsletter. Stay tuned for in-depth insights on how this project is set to revolutionize aquaculture practices across the continent.
