She also explained that the industry is currently based on traditional animal feed sources such as soybeans, wild fish and maize meal.Īt the launch, she said that the sector’s rapid growth requires increased efforts to identify alternative feed sources that are competitive in price and quality, without occupying additional agricultural land. It would also build the capacity of youth “agripreneurs” and other stakeholders.ĭr Mary Guri Saethre, Senior Advisor, NORAD, in an address to launch the project, said poultry and fish farming were among the most rapidly expanding agriculture sectors in Africa. NORAD’s initiative would create chicken, aquafeed and organic fertiliser value chains, while optimising the potential of BSF biowaste processing. 5 August 2021 The Black Kite: a clever hawk Reviled in Japanese culture and beyond for its scavenging behaviour, the Black Kite is a misunderstood raptor. Unlike others in the group, Black kites are opportunistic hunters and spend much time soaring and gliding. It is thought to be the worlds most abundant species of Accipitridae. It will also do exploratory groundwork to identify current and future biowaste streams and build a business model for sustainable biowaste management, animal feed and organic fertiliser production. The Black kite ( Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. 9 Distribution A black soldier fly on a crape jasmime leaf, in West Bengal, India. illucens has increasingly been gaining attention because of its usefulness for recycling organic waste and generating animal feed. According to a news release from the Ghana News Agency, the initiative will contribute to improved sanitation and ultimately, reduce the effects of climate change. Hermetia illucens, the black soldier fly, is a common and widespread fly of the family Stratiomyidae.

It resembles similar species found in Africa, Eurasia and North America, including the black-winged kite, a species that has in the past also been called 'black-shouldered kite'. The project hopes to improve the livelihoods of smallholder chicken, fish and vegetable producers in those countries by using black soldier flies to process biowaste. The black-shouldered kite ( Elanus axillaris ), also known as the Australian black-shouldered kite, is a small raptor found in open habitat throughout Australia.
