Consumers’ perception towards eggs from laying hens fed commercial black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal-based feeds
Get PDFThis study evaluates consumer perceptions of eggs from hens that are fed black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)/ BSFL-based diets, and the socioeconomic factors that influence consumer perceptions in Kenya. Findings demonstrate that increased awareness creation and evidence-based demonstration regarding the benefits of BSFL-based feed in poultry production would improve consumer perception and foster uptake of this rapidly growing and emerging technology. The survey was conducted through a random sample of 200 consumers responsible for their household or family purchases.Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationCurt Bergfors Foundation Food Planet Prize AwardNorwegian Agency for Development CooperationNetherlands Organization for Scientific Research, WOTRO Science for Global Development (NWO-WOTRO)Rockefeller FoundationCentre of Excellence in Sustainable Agriculture and Agribusiness Management (CESAAM) of Egerton University KenyaUnited Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)Federal Democratic Republic of EthiopiaGovernment of the Republic of Keny

Novel soil booster : insect-composted organic fertilizer for increased crop yield, nutritional quality, and profitability
Get PDFBlack Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae take only 5 weeks to produce mature organic fertilizer, compared to 12 – 24 weeks for conventional composting, and where BSF organic fertilizer is superior in nutrients to commercial organic fertilizers. The policy brief provides graphics and tables comparing BSF insect composted organic fertilizer (ICOF) with synthetic fertilizer (NPK) and commercially available organic fertilizer on maize, tomatoes, kales and French beans. The full potential of this technology for improved crop productivity requires more research as well as enabling policy interventions to regulate production and marketing, and to support scaling and adoption
