Turning Flies into Food: Empowering Farmers with Innovation

Did you know that black soldier flies can transform farming?

These incredible insects help produce organic feed for poultry and fish—and even create natural fertilizer. It’s a game-changer for smallholder farmers who often struggle to afford animal feed.

Meet Tobi Adgebite, a passionate social entrepreneur from Nigeria and founder of Entojutu. After an inspiring year at kanthari, a social entrepreneurial hub in India, Tobi launched a bold idea: breeding black soldier flies to reduce costs and boost sustainability.

This approach is already making an impact in Western Kenya, where our Making More Health initiative supports farmers in Webuye, Bungoma County, and Homabay near Lake Victoria. Recently, Tobi led hands-on training sessions, and the feedback was amazing:
