This London Farm Is Growing Millions of Soldier Fly Larvae for a Very Good Reason 

Are maggots harmful for human

@@tokirKhan24 nope, they're perfectly safe to eat

I use composting worms

UPDATE? MAGGOTS GOOD OR NOT?

Great.The trouble is, they want us all eating this shit, instead of the meat and dairy we now eat. They're crazy. Don't help them realise their aims.

Lies again? SAF SPF

Thailand has good natural climate for this. Try doing this outdoors in cold climate...

I think the future is more likely to be cell-cultured meat and the use of bacteria to process the waste

@@eug_metta hmmmm

@@eug_metta lol you have lots to learn 😂

Visited by soldier fly? How? Do they come naturally?

@@veen88 Yes, looks like my place has soldier flies like many other insects, they simply visited, laid lots of eggs, and kick-started my composting with practically no hassles ...

@@veen88 they are bad fliers and might have saw one but thought it was a wasp they are everywhere except the winter

Permaculture projects on a local community scale is the answer, not adding more problems to the existing problem. Yes we're overpopulated, but we're also lazy and depend on junk food as a convenient food source.

Very interesting idea

yeah and then you can fry it and eat it whole

@@test4O4 I'm not so sure about eating the things. I would gladly feed them to chickens, fish and pigs and then eat those.

asdfghjkl it is a much more efficient in terms of biomass and energy conversion to just eat the insects

@@xaviermahele03 I wouldn't want to eat anything that was fed animal manure and definitely wouldn't want to eat anything that was fed human waste.

Plus, the protein boost at the beginning of the day is nice.

Have you worked on separating larvae before ?

You're crazy.

Bill Clinton now thats what I call a protein bar

@@theshuman100 Snowpiercer?

@@user-mh6pz8rq9d what

Liceloaf

Finally some good fucking food

If nothing else, insect meal can be used to feed fish which need even less feed than chickens do. Hopefully lab-grown and plant-based meat will dominate sooner than we think. Lab-grown fish seems to be further off, though.

@@meh23p plant based meat isn't a better solution either, We have to learn how to provide for ourselves, instead of clearing out huge swafts of land for commercial revenue the commercial incentive of farming makes people take more than is needed and is unsustainable. I think we should be looking at ways to farm within our own backyard and find ways to use the action of insects on plant waste to turn unsuable celluose into a food source And I don't like the concept of lab grown meat because it brings in a load of problems as you have to add in already usuable proteins lets say from soy when you could have ate the soy yourself its a middle man for no reason. All you have to do is change the perception of foods to Americans aka eating insects, but also eating plants and eating fish but not wasting anything, and promote the concept that not everything is trash, it is wasteful to dump our food waste in landfills why not turn it into a protein source for you or your fish

@@BossOfAllTrades yeah, plant-based meat isn't a solution at all. If we all go vegetarian today we would have to deforest practically everything to make room for all the new farmlands, since our agriculture is an absolute garbo. But imagine if every big farm would start aquaponics, have their own maggot farm as a fish food source, some sort of renewable energy source for the heating and all the automation work, and deals with local shops and houses so they can collect their food waste. For a fraction of the price, fraction of water and hardly any energy at all we could be making more food than we can eat, basically without any wastes because it would go back into the system if unused. You could obviously scale it down to single households, but that's not possible in the big city and small apartment.

@@wybuchowyukomendantThats a prefect example, and we have the same exact idea, But yea don't worry we will be the farmers of the future. I thought about it it makes sense to feed that food waste to grubs, instead of to cows and pigs, people love complaining about, We feed them to vermicuture and then to fish 🐟 Who doesn't love fish. This also gives them a natural and sustainable diet, many vegans warrant that it is sustainability as the problem so I always ask the question " if I grew you a 100% sustainabile fish would you eat it".

@@wybuchowyukomendant The automation part is amazing, If used in the right way we could grow all the oysters, shrimp and seafood the world ever wanted, as the USA lacks in this department. But companies could use that to create monopolies, and we would get back to the current unsustainability, we have today, we have to put the hands of food production into local communities and towns and not monopolies. Think about it automation sorting garbage, repromoting the recycling industry, bottles made from algae, this could spur on a new age for America. We would be exporting a whole lot and boost The economy through the roof, if the right programs and regulations were in place, Imagine if you past a limit of food supply and you would have to sell some off to prevent overproduction or you overproduce on purpose because your close to local drones, that deliver food to cities and you make bank. Future cities might need to be revamped to cause as it stands its really just office buildings, and penthouses not a good use for 100 ft skyscrapers...

let's invist in these worms. Man.

Do it! You will need a location that has surplus waste for free and expect to pay for it in the future as competition increases.

Just a vibrating mesh, probably made it themselves

The salmon is already eating it

you are thinking about shit flies, which are disease vectors. I wouldn't eat the BSF, but I do pity your ignorance.

We were annoyed by flies, however they have been used a long time to feed fish until Western government outlawed it and are now pretending to be your savior and legalizing it again.

Never eat them , It's better for chicken and fish

Better be carefully with China products because they grow cheap as can be seen with their products getting people sick .They grow with animal manure which is very toxic for any consumption.

Did you find out what machine it was

Same here, but in Taiwan

Same too but in Cameroon. Where can someone get the larvae eggs please?

@M voakes @Alex Chung

A lot of compost heaps already have them.

Nicolas Vanlangendonck i wouldn't think so. Basically the temperature in a normal compost pile increases because of the decaying process. In this setup there is no decaying process as the larvae are eating everything and you are left with their waste. If you were to throw the larvae into a normal composting bin the heat may be an issue eventually, but if you aren't severely overfeeding them it should not be a problem here.

Yes it does warm up and will be a problem without ventilation.

Para la Mosca 27 grados C y para la larva max 35. La mosca puede vivir hasta los 5 grados pero sin actividad reproductiva.

He uses a sifter, but the great thing about BSFL is when they are ready to pupate, the large ones (black in color) will by their own nature crawl away from the compost or food source or whatever. Most people provide them with a ramp, they crawl up the ramp, and then fall down into a holding container of some kind. And then they are collected.

I was particularly interested in the wet larvae before they start turning to pupae. I am processing these for my chicken feed

Mealworms larva eat both fresh coffee and waste coffee so i suppose that bsf larva can eat it too.
