Unravelling the optimal luminous environment for the black soldier fly for biomass production and conversion of biowaste

In recent years, the use of insects as feed has gained attention for its potential to tackle environmental, economic, and ethical challenges in traditional feed production. The black soldier fly (BSF) is a key focus due to its potential in creating a circular economy, particularly in waste management and protein production. Improving the breeding conditions for the BSF is crucial to optimize its performance. We aim to contribute to this by developing new LED lights that maximizes the reproductive performance of these insects using a partnership between ADSOL, based in Montreal, Quebec, and Concordia University. This collaboration aims to provide insights into a green circular economy that benefits the environment and fosters innovation in the industrial and socioeconomic sectors.
