Start with a course

Six courses move from the insect itself to the business, production and facility technology, with advanced start-up and ramp-up programmes for real projects. Each course gives a clear lesson sequence, with the videos playing directly on the page.

  1. Black soldier fly basics

    Understand the lifecycle, the terms used in the industry and the role of larvae in turning suitable organic material into useful outputs.

  2. BSF business basics

    See where costs and possible income arise, why buyers and permitted product routes matter, and what must be tested before investing.

  3. BSF production

    Follow the production stages from material preparation and breeding to rearing, harvest, post-processing and pilot planning.

  4. Facility technology

    Learn why climate control matters, how a controlled production room is planned and what monitoring and control technology can do.

  5. BSF start-up

    Work through the principles, products, funding and validation steps for finding the best BSF business in a region.

  6. BSF ramp-up

    Plan the phases that move a new production from setup to full operation, with the metrics to record along the way.

Apply it to a real case

General information can show what to investigate, but it cannot establish whether BSF is the right route for a particular project. Manna can start with the material, location, current route and decision, then agree a suitable level of analysis or practical testing.
