In Kenya, the environmentalists behind Project Mila employ black soldier fly larvae to manage food waste, enhance agriculture, and improve local fisheries, promoting sustainability.
Nusra Abed, co-founder of Project Mila, highlights the community's sanitation struggles due to poor waste management, driven by an imperative to find a local solution.
With Kenya producing 40-100kg of household food waste per person annually, Project Mila's innovative use of maggots converts waste into protein-rich feed and organic fertilizers.
Roselyne Mwachia notes that the use of frass allows farmers to diversify their crops, moving away from traditional coconut farming to more profitable organic produce.
