Turning waste into wealth with Black Soldier Fly farming in Uganda
From 28–30 May 2026, 25 Ugandan farmers, trainers and officials gathered at Kabanyolo CAEC to learn Black Soldier Fly farming under the BRAINS Project, turning organic waste into animal feed, fertilizer and profitable climate-smart enterprises.
A pile of organic waste may not look like much but hidden within it is the potential to produce animal feed, restore soils, and create thriving rural businesses. This is the promise of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming, an emerging climate-smart enterprise that is gaining momentum among farmers in Uganda. That promise came to life during a three-day training on BSF enterprise establishment and management held at the Kabanyolo Climate-Smart Agriculture Education Centre (CAEC) from 28–30 May 2026, where farmer groups from Kaberamaido, Isingiro, and Serere districts learned how to transform organic waste into valuable agricultural products while building profitable and sustainable enterprises.
