It's called protaculture, and Robert Olivier has made it accessible using an invention he calls the "biopod." The idea is simple: put food waste into an enclosed space with the black soldier fly to bioconvert the food into proteins and fats that can then be used for livestock feed. Unlike composting, the biopod can even be used to convert animals products. The paradigm shift he proposes is this, what if we didn't need to grow corn and soy to feed livestock? What if we could do it with our food waste alone.
