Course Description

The Biology and Life Cycle of Black Soldier Fly is a comprehensive course designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) and its biological characteristics. Led by Natalia Naranjo Guavera, this course will cover the various stages of the BSF life cycle, including the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages.

Participants will gain insights into the unique adaptations and behaviors of BSF that make them exceptional in waste management and sustainable agriculture. The course will explore the environmental conditions that influence the development and growth of BSF, including temperature, humidity, and food sources.

Understanding the biology and life cycle of BSF is crucial for successful farming practices, as it helps farmers optimize breeding conditions and enhance production efficiency. This knowledge can also aid in identifying potential challenges and solutions within the farming process.

By the end of this course, participants will have a solid grasp of the biology and life cycle of the Black Soldier Fly, enabling them to apply this knowledge effectively in their farming practices and contribute to more sustainable agricultural solutions.
