The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Effects of feedstock on larval development and process efficiency in waste treatment with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (2019, background): “Consequently, the use of fly larvae in waste management has started to gain attention ( Ci ckov a et al., 2015; Pastor et al., 2015).”
Standardisation of quantitative resource conversion studies with black soldier fly larvae (2020, background): “Per clutch of e.g. 500 eggs a max. of 500 neonate larvae hatch, which require 30 g (DM) of the reference diet (Pastor et al. , 2015).”
Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, background): “Pilot and full-scale plants for BSFL rearing at an industrial level have been tested and found to be effective, but technical questions still remain in scaling up the extant BSFL systems, not to mention ensuring human food quality standards [46,139,140].”
The environmental sustainability of insects as food and feed. A review (2017, background): “The suitability of Diptera for transforming organic waste into high protein feed products was outlined by Pastor et al. (2015).”
