Indonesia is the world's second-largest food waste contributor, despite widespread poverty and unsustainable protein sources threatening marine ecosystems. Rendria Labde, co-founder of agritech Magalarva, offers a solution. Inspired by a landfill visit, he founded Magalarva in 2017, utilizing Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as a natural intervention.

At Magalarva, BSF larvae efficiently consume organic waste. These larvae are then harvested and converted into valuable products like fertilizer, fishmeal, or dried protein powder for pets, providing a sustainable solution to waste and protein scarcity.

Rendria, a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honoree, is a mechanical engineer and permaculturist. This TEDx talk explores his innovative work. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
