Overfishing of Feeder Fish for Fish Meal is Decimating Populations. There’s a Solution.
A Solution that’s also a Green Entrepreneurial Opportunity: Use grocery store and restaurant food waste to grow high protein fish feed
Are you looking for a new green venture? Consider growing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae to be sold as a high protein fish food.
Your business will help with two problems we face today. As global warming increases and our population grows (by as much as 50% over the next 50 years) our way of life, and possibly our very existence, is threatened. Your business can be part of the solution.
Problem #1: Food waste in landfills is a significant cause of methane gas. It’s said that up to 40% of the food in America ends up in the dump. This business venture can help reduce the food waste that ends up in landfills and turn it into high protein fish feed, replacing fishmeal.
Problem #2: Fishmeal. Producing fishmeal is decimating feeder fish populations like mackerel, sardines, and herring. On top of this over-fishing being an environmental catastrophe, it’s also forcing the cost of fishmeal to continually rise.
