Sustainable feed for the agriculture of the future – protein-rich feed made from black soldier fly larvae at Öregtögy Farm
A new, environmentally friendly solution has appeared in Hungarian agriculture: one of Hungary’s first Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larva-based feed production plants has been launched at Öregtölgy Farm. The sustainable technology not only represents a new generation of protein feeds, but also actively contributes to the recycling of food waste – writes Agrárszektor.
The birth of a new type of protein source
With the technology purchased from Grinsec Kft., the plant was established by Hanson Sophie, a private entrepreneur, and was built with EU support. The goal: to produce feed that is ideal for poultry, pigs and fish with its high protein and fat content, and provides a sustainable alternative to soy.
The larvae of the black soldier fly are an excellent source of nutrients while quickly breaking down organic waste. A full production cycle takes just 21 days, during which 200 kg of larvae can be produced, and the resulting 150 kg of organic by-products can be recycled as compost.
Circular economy and reduced ecological footprint
BSF larvae efficiently convert food industry by-products and agricultural waste into high biological value protein. This solution brings tangible benefits:
- reducing the ecological burden of soy import and cultivation,
- mitigating CO₂ emissions,
- helping to preserve rainforests,
and recycling part of the million tons of food waste generated annually.
