Cycle Farms collects fruit and vegetable waste from farms, food processors and markets so as to raise fly larvae. When the larvae grow to be rich in protein, they are processed into insect meal - a nutritionally complete basis for fish and poultry feed formulations. In so doing, Cycle Farms solutions provides a productive use for food waste, and reduces both costs and CO2 emissions associated with feed imports. Cycle Farms is bringing its solution to West Africa, where fish farmers are spending 70% of their production budget on imported feed.

- •Reduced CO2 emissions from transport.
- •The solution stimulates economic activity throughout target communities.
The Financial Benefits
- •Significantly reduced input costs – nutritional insect meal at prices 30% lower than the current market offer.
