Abstract

Food waste (FW) contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, burdens waste management systems, worsens food insecurity, and reduces biodiversity. Consequently, upcycling strategies must be refined to efficiently convert FW into valuable products. The utilization of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to convert FW into nutrient-rich insect meal for use in poultry diets is one such nascent strategy. This upcycling strategy has the potential to address food security challenges while reducing environmental impacts of both FW and poultry production systems. Indeed, innovations in BSFL production and the abundance of FW means that this strategy has a high potential for adoption and scaling up, despite a regulatory framework that lags in several countries. We analyse the suitability of various FW streams for BSFL and the insect's nutraceutical value for poultry. This strategy can resolve the global FW problem while contributing towards sustainable food production systems with minimal recourse to additional planetary resources.

重新思考食物浪费：探索基于黑蝇幼虫的可持续家禽生产升级战略

食物浪费会导致温室气体排放，给废物管理系统带来负担，加剧粮食不安全，并减少生物多样性。因此，必须完善升级循环策略，以有效地将FW转化为有价值的产品。利用黑蝇幼虫（BSFL）将FW转化为营养丰富的昆虫粉用于家禽日粮就是这样一种新兴策略。这一升级战略有可能解决粮食安全挑战，同时减少FW和家禽生产系统对环境的影响。事实上，BSFL生产的创新和FW的丰富意味着，尽管一些国家的监管框架滞后，但这一战略具有很高的采用和推广潜力。我们分析了各种FW流对BSFL的适用性以及该昆虫对家禽的营养价值。这一战略可以解决全球FW问题，同时有助于建立可持续的粮食生产系统，尽量减少对额外地球资源的依赖。

期刊介绍： The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns. Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
