Show Notes
Shane Turton and Charli Whitaker in South Australias Riverland have turned food waste into a thriving business by farming black soldier fly larvae. They collect scraps from local cafes and hotels, feeding them to the larvae which grow into high-protein feed for various animals and produce a natural fertilizer. Their operation, started by accident, now involves breeding flies in temperature-controlled rooms and supplying local businesses and pet owners with the larvae. The couple aims to reduce food waste and fight pests, exploring bigger facilities and waste sources for potential growth.
