Course Description

Insect Farming and Waste Management is an insightful course led by Dr. Adebola Ajiboye, focusing on the critical link between waste management practices and insect farming, specifically the Black Soldier Fly (BSF). As global waste production continues to rise, innovative solutions are essential for mitigating its impact on the environment.

This course will guide participants through the multifaceted benefits of integrating insect farming into waste management strategies. BSF, known for its ability to efficiently convert organic waste into protein-rich biomass, plays a vital role in addressing waste challenges while providing a sustainable protein source for animal feed.

Dr. Ajiboye will cover best practices for BSF farming, including breeding, feeding, and harvesting techniques, along with practical applications of BSF in managing various types of organic waste. Participants will learn about the positive environmental impacts of BSF farming, including reducing landfill waste and enhancing nutrient recycling.

By the end of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of how insect farming can contribute to waste management solutions, promote a healthier environment, and support food security initiatives. Join us in exploring the transformative potential of insect farming in creating a sustainable future!
