BSF Biocycle is a joint initiative between Agriprotein Technologies and Bear Valley Ventures, developing commercially viable and scalable routes for the bio-conversion of human faecal waste into valuable products, using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. It is the first venture to emerge from the overall Sanitation Ventures Program, supported by a grant to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We are in the process of developing a unique BSF production technology that will allow entrepreneurs throughout the world to generate revenue from waste through its conversion into high value larval products such as animal feed and biodiesel. The monetisation of human and municipal waste streams will have a major impact in improving sanitation services in developing countries and increase food security through closed loop nutrient recycling. We are based at the world-class experimental agricultural facilities of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.
