This project aims to address the current challenges impeding the industrial scale-up of Australian Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming across diverse feed waste substrates by generating critical on-farm knowledge. This project expects to generate fundamental knowledge in commercial BSF breeding designs whilst also developing and testing new animal evaluation technologies (ie, genetic & spectroscopy) through interdisciplinary approaches that will accelerate industry productivity. Expected outcomes of this project include the long-term growth and competitive advantage of the Australian insect farming industry, as well as promoting the benefits of a circular economy through bioconversion of organic waste into commercially viable products.

该项目旨在应对当前的挑战，阻碍了澳大利亚黑人舰队（BSF）在各种饲料废物基板上耕种的工业规模，通过产生关键的农场知识。该项目预计将通过跨学科方法来开发和测试新的动物评估技术（即，遗传和光谱），在商业BSF育种设计中产生基本知识，同时可以加速行业生产力。该项目的预期结果包括澳大利亚昆虫农业行业的长期增长和竞争优势，以及通过将有机废物的生物转化成商业可行的产品来促进循环经济的好处。
