Will insects be able to dispose of waste in the future?
A soldier fly farm can be used to handle large quantities of organic waste in a short time. The amount of organic waste that a soldier fly farm can handle depends on several factors, including the population density of the flies, the quality of the organic waste and the environmental conditions.

In general, a soldier fly farm can handle large amounts of organic waste in a short period of time. For example, a soldier fly farm can eat up to 2 tonnes of organic waste per day, and in just 10 days, it can eat up to 20 tonnes of organic waste.
It is important to emphasise that these are approximate figures and depend greatly on the specific conditions of the breeding farm such as size, population density of the flies, quality and quantity of organic waste, climate and hygienic conditions.
In general, the rearing of soldier flies is an effective method of dealing with organic waste, as flies can rapidly transform waste into protein and other useful nutrients for farm animals and agriculture.
Breeding insects to treat organic waste is a developing technology and could become an increasingly popular option in the future. There are already some examples of waste treatment plants using insects to treat organic waste and promising results have been shown.
There are also ongoing projects to use insects to treat different types of waste, such as food waste, paper and cardboard waste, and municipal waste. However, it is important to note that using insects to treat waste is not a one-size-fits-all solution and should be considered as part of a broader waste management strategy.
In general, the use of insects to treat organic waste is an interesting alternative to traditional waste management and could become an increasingly important solution in the future.
