Some Angeleรฑos availed free organic fertilizer provided by the Angeles City Government, led by Mayor Carmelo โPogiโ Lazatin Jr., under the black soldier fly program.
Local farmers and residents can avail one kilo of organic fertilizer or one bottle of liquid fertilizer produced by these black soldier flies at the City Agriculture Office.
Black soldier flies decompose various types of organic waste and converts them into high-value biomasses such as oils and proteins.
One of the emerging technologies in bio-waste management, the black soldier flies convert organic waste into high quality nutrients for pet foods, fish and poultry feeds, as well as residue fertilizer for soil amendment.
This is part of the city governmentโs plan to reduce organic waste.
Mayor Lazatin pushed for this program to materialize as the city government continues to find ways to divert and lessen the waste that is being disposed of at the landfill.
