INTRODUCTION OF BSF TECHNOLOGY TO FARMERS

This project is firmly rooted in the principles of the 3 R's: Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse. It aims to harness the capabilities of Black Soldier Fly larvae in processing urban biowaste across multiple regions, including DRC, Ghana, Mali, and Niger. During the workshop, facilitators provided a comprehensive overview of the project's objectives and its intended outcomes. Dr. Ofori, a prominent figure in the workshop, emphasized the numerous benefits that BSF technology brings to farmers. Foremost among these advantages is the elevated level of protein and amino acids present in the feed produced using this technology. Additionally, he acquainted the participants with the valuable by-products generated through the BSF process and explained their application. The workshop drew participants from diverse backgrounds, including chicken, fish, and vegetable farmers from Accra and its neighboring areas. This diverse gathering of farmers provided a vibrant setting for the dissemination of BSF technology insights. In summary, the engagement workshop orchestrated by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture under the BBEST project has not only introduced farmers to the game-changing BSF technology but has also fostered an understanding of its associated benefits and practical applications.
