Thanks Heiner for sharing this very informative and insightful piece.

Sharing a few key points to piq interest.

• The company processes wet market waste and food by-products, turning them into high-protein and high-fat feed ingredients. It produces the follwoing four products 

1. BSF Larvae - A rich source of protein and fat used as animal feed, particularly for poultry, pigs, and aquaculture.
2. BSF Meal (Ground Larvae): Protein-rich powder used as an alternative to traditional feed ingredients like soybean meal and fishmeal
3. BSF Oil (Pressed Larvae): A fat-rich feed ingredient for livestock and aquaculture. Also explored as a key component in producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
4. BSF Frass (Larvae Excrement): A nutrient-rich biofertilizer that can improve soil health, enhance plant growth, and stimulate plant immunity to pests. 

•  The company is piloting a decentralised production model where local farmers can rear BSF larvae on-site using agricultural waste. The larvae can be collected and processed at a centralised facility. 

The business model particularly piqed my interest because of its potential impact on livelihoods besides improving waste management. 

The article overall seems very biased though - treats BSF as a silver bullet. Not sure if it is so. It would be great if people with related experience could share the challenges involved (if any). Also how does BSF compare with other technologies/products like biochar? 

Thanks

First time I read an article about BSF in Cambodia news. Perhaps it is of interest for somebody here. Cheers!   ​Waste to feed: Local startup tackles carbon emissions and boosts food security | Phnom Penh Post
