Agri-TT Background
• Urbanising Ghana growing demand for
– Animal source foods/ protein
– Sanitary waste disposal
– Livelihoods for the poor
• Insect value-addition opportunities
– Intensifying livestock production
– Imported feed ingredients e.g. fish/soybean meal
– Nutrient dense vegetables – women small holders
– Waste mgt. environmental & financial costs
• Transfer of Chinese/ ProteInsect experience
Primary Research Question
• Can an improved approach to agricultural
waste disposal through maggot and biofertiliser production promote pro-poor - &
particularly female - employment
opportunities in Ghana?
