Hungtang Ko, first author of the study, hopes Georgia Tech’s work will help make black soldier fly larvae more readily available as recyclers of food waste and as a protein-rich source of food to animals that humans consume. “There's no sustainable protein source for the animals that we eat. The black soldier fly larvae could play a role in reducing the environmental impact of feeding these animals,” he said.
