Field notes
The life-cycle material distinguishes the stages that matter to production: eggs are collected on corrugated cardboard or wooden slats, most larvae are harvested before pupation, and a smaller share is retained to renew adult stock. The page cites an Eawag operating guide for a 12–20% biomass-conversion range on food waste and lists roughly 40% protein. Its simulator menu also separates exchange-rate shocks, protein and oil substitution, frass, and carbon-footprint questions.
