The Facts

  • Genetically engineered black soldier flies (BSF), which Australian scientists hope to produce by the end of 2024, might be the answer to the world's organic waste problem.

  • In a paper published Wednesday, scientists of Sydney’s Macquarie University said BSF could curb the emission of methane from organic waste's break down.

  • BSFs aren't pests and don't bite or carry diseases. Their larvae can be pet food, digest all kinds of human waste, and can even be processed into plastic.
