Entocycle is a British company founded by former scuba diving instructor Keiran Whitaker.[1] The company use insects to turn organic waste into animal feed.[2] Based in London, Entocycle farm the black soldier fly which can be used to feed fish, livestock and humans.[3] The larvae of the insect are fed on food waste such as brewery grains and coffee waste[4] with the flies encouraged to mate in an artificial and controlled environment.[5] Black soldier flies can be swapped for the soya used in animal feed, potentially saving rainforests from being cleared in order to grow crops.[6]
