There are places in the world where people eat insects, yes ... But why not feed insects to the usual livestock - fish, chickens and so on?
AgriProtein, a South African company, and others in the USA, France and Canada are going into the farming of flies full time! Maggots come from flies, of course, and maggots are the equivalent of juicy steaks for poultry and other livestock! Yum yum! Imagine ... "Farming with flies". That has quite a ring about it!
Find the article Are maggots the future of food? or check out the AgriProtein website.
This was the initial blog of The Agri Handbook, South Africa's biennial reference book for the agri-food industry where you will find points of reference for all subsectors which make up the agricultural value chain. Whether you are a new farmer looking at your options or an old hand wanting to diversify your operations but wondering where to start, you will find value here. Visitors are invited to also look at https://agribook.co.za/ where the latest chapters may be read.
