HARNESSING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
<\/b>OPPORTUNITIES FROM OIL PALM WASTE: BLACK SOLDIER
FLY LARVAE AS A NOVEL INCOME STREAM IN MALAYSIA<\/b><\/p>\n

The aim<\/b><\/h2>\n

This project aims to enhance livelihood and business opportunities by adding value to oil palm waste in Malaysia. In doing so it seeks to explore an alternative use of empty fruit bunches: conversion into a feedstock for Black Soldier Fly Larvae which in turn can be used to feed animals and fish.<\/p>\n

Our approach<\/b><\/h2>\n

Researchers at UTM, in collaboration with University of York, UK, are finding sustainable ways to convert oil palm waste into value-added products. These efforts support progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Improving the quality of feed will directly impact good health and well-being (SDG3); while advances in biomass processing will contribute to sustainable consumption and production (SDG12). Over the longer term, the project aims to boost the income of Malaysian farmers and local entrepreneurs, helping to end poverty in all its forms by creating new jobs (SDG 1) and harnessing opportunities that support gender equality (SDG 5).<\/p>\n
