Meeting the food needs of the growing world
population is one of the most important global problems of our time. It is
widely emphasized that the need will be much more serious in the coming decades
and that radical measures should be taken at this point. The ongoing search for
alternatives at this point has shown that insects can be one of the ideal
sources for feeding of human and especially livestock. Many insect species have
been focused in the related investigations, and the results showed that
particularly black soldier fly is the most ideal species in many aspects. The
species, which has advantages such as ease of production, feeding on organic
wastes, potential for utilization of organic wastes as an organic fertilizer,
being nature friendly and largely nutritional content of larvae, has begun to
be widely produced in many parts of the world in recent decade. Related data
and reports reveal the significance of this fly species in the worldwide food
shortage issue with a very assertive certainty. In this review, the issues of
biology, morphology, farming in Turkey conditions, nutritional content and use
for animal nutrition of the fly have been elaborated in detail, and almost all
the current data that both possible producers and related researchers can
benefit from are presented in an integrated manner.
