Black Soldier Fly Pilot Trial - Innovative Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Micro Farm (MF) Project, reclaiming waste feed inputs and converting it into proteins for animal feed

BeoBia因重新设计、原型制作、测试和推出适合人们家庭的昆虫生态种植舱而荣获2021/22年度青年创新者奖。这些产品针对食用昆虫的外来宠物和小型家畜（爬行动物、两栖动物、鸟类、家禽、鱼类等）。- 利用昆虫的力量来回收用户的食物垃圾，并将其转化为宠物食品和植物肥料，使人们能够创造自己负担得起的可持续宠物饲料来源。BeoBia成功地实现了这些雄心勃勃的目标，截至2022年2月，BeoBia目前正在英国、欧盟和美国零售其昆虫豆荚。BeoBia现在必须在成功的基础上扩大昆虫生产，从家养宠物/动物昆虫种植转向大规模牲畜饲料生产，使BeoBia能够进入更大、更有利可图的市场，最大化其环境影响，并与英国/国际政策保持一致。对大豆蛋白饲料的依赖和高食物浪费对英国的食品进口，农业可持续性，牲畜饲料的关键技术挑战是生产一种价格具有竞争力的蛋白质替代来源，可持续发展和可扩展性。BeoBia希望利用其广泛的昆虫养殖知识，设计和开发昆虫微型农场，以解决这些问题。

BeoBia won a Young Innovators Award 2021/22 for redesigning, prototype, test and launch its insect eco-growing pods for people's homes. These products target exotic pets and small domestic animals that consume insects (reptiles, amphibians, birds, poultry, fish etc.) - harnessing insect power to recycle users' food waste and convert it into pet food and plant fertiliser, empowering people to create their own source of affordable and sustainable pet feed. BeoBia successfully achieved these ambitious targets and as of February 2022, is now retailing its insect pods in the UK, EU and USA.BeoBia now must build on its success, scale up insect production and move from domestic pet/animal insect growing to large-scale livestock feed production, enabling BeoBia to enter a larger and more lucrative market, maximising its environmental impact and aligning with UK/international policies.Reliance on soy-protein feed and high food waste negatively impacts the UK's food imports, agricultural sustainability, and food security and contributes to accelerating deforestation and climate change rates.The key technical challenge with livestock feed is producing an alternative source of protein that is competitively priced, sustainable and scalable.BeoBia wants to build on its extensive insect breeding knowledge to design and develop insect micro farms to solve these issues.
