VIDEO - Pilot program using flies to make high-protein animal feed | RNZ

A multinational company has partnered with the Ministry of Primary Industries and researchers from Massey University to pilot a program that uses flies to convert waste from breweries, orchards and wineries into high-protein feed for animals.

Veolia is a multi-billion dollar company that develops environmental solutions.

They have provided a lab, based in Palmerston North, which is trialling various sources of organic by-products to produce high-protein feed - with a little help from black soldier flies.

Veolia's country director Emma Brand spoke to Corin Dann.
