Luke Wheat, CEO and Founder of WA company Arvela will be our guest speaker.

Arvela is a Western Australian owned and operated biological services business, specifically focused on the supply of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae to organic waste management companies around Australia.   Arvela believe insects have a critical role in helping humanity solve some of its most pressing environmental challenges, and paving the way to a more sustainable, climate friendly, future.

The Black Soldier Fly is an introduced species to Australia, endemic to the south-eastern part of the United States. It is not recognised as a pest because the adult is not attracted to human habitation or foods, they are also non-biting and non-invasive.

Don’t be a fly-on-the-wall, come and find out how Black Soldier Fly farming can be used to convert food waste to commercially viable protein.
