This is centred on the industrial-scale production of Black Soldier Fly frass using food waste as a feedstock, enabling arable farmers to remediate depleted soil.
About
Mouche Bouche is a completely sustainable Black Soldier Fly Frass Fertilizer, upcycled from food and agricultural waste in Lincolnshire, enabling the diversion of waste from incineration and landfill and the attendant avoidance of carbon dioxide and methane generation to the atmosphere.
Key Benefits
The agricultural use of Black Soldier Fly frass will help remediate depleted soil by providing a source of organic material that contributes to the increase in organic soil matter, a key component of soil fertility, improving agricultural sustainability, and improving soil resilience to flooding and drought.
Additionally, the presence of chitin from the Black Soldier Fly larvae helps prevent soil pest damage, i.e. from nematodes, by initiating a plant immune response ahead of any infestation.
Applications
The principal market is for arable farmers; there are also applications for usage in the horticultural industry (who are looking for effective alternatives to peat-based composts) and domestic gardens.
