No Poverty

Black Soldier Fly Larvae harvesting can help small protein farmers. Poultry and fish farmers can reuse the waste produced by their livestock to grow BSF larvae and make nutritious protein feed. Such sustainable agricultural ventures can help many struggling farmers to rise out of poverty.

Zero Hunger

The world will need to feed billions of people in the future. As we already mentioned before, the demand for animal protein is expected to rise to 52%. To achieve food security, we will need sustainable agricultural methods that can satisfy the huge demand for protein in the future.

With BSF harvesting, we can provide a highly nutritional feed for animals and fish. Poultry, livestock and aquaculture farmers can easily raise animals using the nutritious feed produced from BSF larvae.

Sustainable agriculture is the key to ensuring that we meet the Zero Hunger target for the future. And BSF harvesting (using the excess amounts of organic waste produced by communities) will fit perfectly in the future ecosystem of sustainable protein production.

Clean Water and Sanitation

Reusing organic waste in economically viable ventures like BSF harvesting will help reduce the load from waste-landfills. Less waste in landfills means less overflow and better sanitation since the waste will be collected and used for economic gain.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

BSF Harvesting provides a new area of employment for workers. Currently, most organic waste in landfills is simply left to decompose or is burnt. Instead, we can separate the organic waste with a process called Source Separated Organics (SSO) using machines that can filter dozens of tons of the waste daily.

The separated organic waste is a huge economic opportunity since it can be converted into feed via BSF harvesting. The BSF themselves have no diseases that can affect humans, and so we can provide healthy and gainful economic opportunities to workers.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

The climate and conditions of Bangladesh are ripe for innovative agricultural methods like BSF harvesting.

It is also a great example of sustainable industry, and encouraging the growth of sustainable industry is one of the main targets of this sustainable development goal.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

BSF Harvesting using Organic Waste will help keep our cities clean by providing an economically viable usage of organic waste. The waste produced from cities will be separated to extract massive quantities of organic waste, most of which will be used to make valuable protein feed and useful byproducts.

Responsible Consumption and Production

Farmers face the huge challenge of providing for billions of mouths to feed in the future. We ensure that farmers have access to responsibly produced feed. BSF harvesting is both environmentally friendly, sustainable and does not use much space compared to other methods of animal feed production.

Climate Action

We need to urgently combat climate change by addressing the large amounts of greenhouse gases emitted daily from processes like decomposition of waste in landfills. BSF harvesting from waste will lock the carbon in organic waste, preventing huge amounts of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere.

Life Below Water

Conservation of marine resources is a prime development goal for the future. We can reduce the pressure on the marine fishing industry by resorting to alternative modes of fish production like aquaculture. Aquaculture farming requires high quality protein feed, which we can produce from BSF harvesting. Thus we can rely less on riverine and oceanic resources and cut back on overfishing by providing rich feed for sustainable fish farming.

Life on Land

Traditional methods of animal feed production like grass and hay farming take up huge amounts of space. Land usage is poor, and desertification is a serious consequence of such agricultural production. Vertical BSF Harvesting is very economical when it comes to land usage, and will reduce the load on agricultural land usage.

Partnerships for the Goals

Hydro Agro will work with municipalities to convert large amounts of waste into useful products via BSF Harvesting. We follow the standards and guidelines recommended by international sustainability-related organizations as well as working with academia to ensure the highest technology standards for our processes.
