It was hard to find the farm in a forest area near Madurai in Tamil Nadu. But an entrepreneur looking for it got plenty of directions from locals, because everyone there had heard of the idiosyncratic farmer growing black soldier fly larvae. The protein-rich worms make for a great poultry or fish feed.
The flies grow in a confined space where their larvae feed on copious organic waste. Bucketfuls of worms are taken out before they grow into flies. Only some remain to continue the cycle.
