21 Aug 2019 --- Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has revealed how a “secret recipe” to encourage Black Soldier Flies to mate can help tackle food waste. Working with Canberra-based start-up Goterra, CSIRO’s farming experts tested lighting, temperature, moisture, surface texture and diet in a bid to find the perfect combination of conditions that will encourage flies to mate. By boosting egg-laying, Goterra is aiming to increase the number of flies that will consume food waste and turn it into compost.
