Decentralized Approaches to Black Soldier Fly Waste Management for Enhancing Community Resilience

I Wayan Koko Suryawan

Abstract


This study emphasizes the critical role of enhancing community adaptive capacity in the development of decentralized Black Soldier Fly (BSF) waste management systems. As an innovative approach to managing organic waste, BSF technology provides dual benefits—environmental improvement and economic gain—by transforming organic residues into protein-rich animal feed and organic fertilizer. Nevertheless, the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of these systems are largely determined by the capability of local communities to manage, operate, and adjust to the technological as well as socio-economic requirements of BSF initiatives. This paper elaborates on essential elements of decentralized BSF infrastructure, examines obstacles in waste processing and financial feasibility, and highlights the significance of asset management, operational adaptability, organizational capacity, continuous learning, and community agency in reinforcing adaptive capacity. By drawing parallels with findings from marine ecotourism and mangrove conservation practices, the study stresses the necessity of supportive policy frameworks, financial support, and participatory governance to advance decentralized waste management as a community-based pathway towards a circular economy and ecological resilience.
