This subprogram aims to create impact through different lines of action research, including (i) developing and testing scalable RRR business models, (ii) assessing and mitigating risks from RRR for public health and the environment, (iii) supporting public and private entities with innovative approaches for the safe reuse of wastewater and organic waste, and (iv) improving rural-urban linkages and resource allocations while minimizing the negative urban footprint on the peri-urban environment. This subprogram works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations University (UNU), and many national and international partners across the globe. The RRR series of documents present summaries and reviews of the subprogram’s research and resulting application guidelines, targeting development experts and others in the research for development continuum.

  • The Capability of Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia Illuncens, to Consume Some Weeds in Vegetable Field
    The Capability of Black Soldier Fly, Hermetia Illuncens, to Consume Some Weeds in Vegetable Field Y Sanjaya1, Suhara2, M. Nurjhani3, M Halimah4 { [email protected]} Biologi Department, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Jl.Dr. Setiabudi N0.229, Bandung, Indonesia1,2,3, Biology Study program, Univeritas Pasundan Jl. Taman Sari No. 6-8, Bandung, Indonesia4 Abstract. Weed in the agriculture field is needed to reduce. So It is need something environmentally tool to conserve agriculture. One promising uses Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. The larvae capability to consume some weeds were presented. Descriptive research was conducted by investigating the role of BSF on some weeds i.e ki rinyuh (Chromolaena odorata), Babadotan (Ageratum conyzoides), rumput gajah (Pennisetum purpreum). Each was given BSF larvae with 150 g, 200 gr and 250 gr of weight on 500 gr weed, The result showed that BSF larvae at 150 g of weight convert weed between 80- 100%, on 200 mg convert 75 % – 97 %, on 250 mg can convert 80 % -100 % in four day. The mortality of BSF larvae on Chromolaena odorata was 10 %, Ageratum conyzoides was 6 %, Pennisetum purpreum was 0 %. This showed BSF larvae can be converted weed into BSFlarvae biomass. Keywords: Hermetia illucens, weeds, weight, bioconversion 1 Introduction The waste product is a big problem in Indonesia. Various wastes have not been systematically resolved including the remnants of weeds. Weed is a plant that grows and competes with competing plants in terms of obtaining nutrients. To overcome this, farmers usually deal with it by weeding and stacking it, sometimes even burning. In large numbers, weeds will be a problem for the environment and sources of pests and diseases [1].

  • (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Larval Development
    DIRECT INJURY,MYIASIS,FORENSICS Influence of Resources on Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Larval Development 1,2 3 1 TRINH T. X. NGUYEN, JEFFERY K. TOMBERLIN, AND SHERAH VANLAERHOVEN J. Med. Entomol. 50(4): 898Ð906 (2013); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/ME12260 ABSTRACT Arthropod development can be used to determine the time of colonization of human remains to infer a minimum postmortem interval. The black soldier ßy, Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is native to North America and is unique in that its larvae can consume a wide range of decomposing organic material, including carrion. Larvae development was observed on six re- sources: control poultry feed, liver, manure, kitchen waste, fruits and vegetables, and Þsh rendering. Larvae fed manure were shorter, weighed less, and took longer to develop. Kitchen waste produced longer and heavier larvae, whereas larvae fed Þsh had almost 100% mortality. Black soldier ßies can colonize human remains, which in many instances can coincide with food and organic wastes. Therefore, it is necessary to understand black soldier ßy development on different food resources other than carrion tissue to properly estimate their age when recovered from human remains. KEY WORDS forensic entomology, development time, food resource, minimum postmortem in- terval, waste management Forensic entomologists use arthropod evidence col- veloped up to 2 d slower than larvae reared on other lected from human remains to estimate the period of experimental tissues, such as lung, kidney, heart, and insect activity and infer time of colonization (Benecke brain.

  • Effects of Microplastics and Salinity on Food Waste Processing by Black
    Cho et al. Journal of Ecology and Environment (2020) 44:7 Journal of Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41610-020-0148-x and Environment RESEARCH Open Access Effects of microplastics and salinity on food waste processing by black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae Sam Cho1, Chul-Hwan Kim1, Min-Ji Kim2 and Haegeun Chung1* Abstract Background: The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is gaining attention as an efficient decomposer of food waste. However, recalcitrant compounds such as plastics mixed into food waste may have negative effects on its growth and survival. Moreover, its efficiency of food waste degradation may also be affected by plastics. In addition, salt (NaCl) can also be present in high concentrations, which also reduces the efficiency of H. illucens-mediated food waste treatment. In this study, we assessed the growth of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) reared on food waste containing polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) and NaCl. The weight of BSFL was measured every 2–4 days. Survival and substrate reduction rates and pupation ratio were determined at the end of the experiment. Results: The total larval weight of Hermetia illucens reared on food waste containing PS was greater than that of the control on days 20 and 24. However, the survival rate was lower in the group treated with 5% PS, as was substrate reduction in all PS-treated groups. The weight of BSFL reared on food waste containing PE was lower than that of the control on day 6. PE in food waste did not affect the survival rate, but the pupation ratio increased and substrate consumption decreased with increasing PE concentrations.

  • A Growth Kinetics Model for Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) Larvae
    International Journal of Technology 12(1) 207-216 (2021) Received June 2020 / Revised July 2020 / Accepted November 2020 International Journal of Technology http://ijtech.eng.ui.ac.id A Growth Kinetics Model for Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae Agus Prasetya1, Robby Darmawan1, Thya Laurencia Benedita Araujo1, Himawan Tri Bayu Murti Petrus1*, Felix Arie Setiawan2** 1Department of Chemical Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Jl. Grafika No. 2, Kampus UGM Bulaksumur, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia 2Department of Chemical Engineering, Universitas Jember, Jl. Kalimantan No. 37, Jember, Jawa Timur 68121, Indonesia Abstract. Known as a promising protein source, black soldier fly (BSF) larva has attracted the attention of many researchers. BSF larvae have the ability to convert organic waste into protein. However, the growth modeling of this process has not been studied previously. Hence, this study generated a BSF larvae growth model to explain BSF larvae production. Vegetable and fruit waste collected from the Gamping fruit market was used as the growth media. The weight of larvae and the leftover substrate were measured for 20 days. The substrate consumed was related to larvae body mass. The model was properly fitted with R-squared values of 0.9988 and 0.9312 for the substrate consumption and larvae growth, respectively. The value of the kinetics constants in this study were 0.847 ± 0.018 g 0.5 day-1 for k1; 0.058 ± 0.019 g-0.5 day-1 for k2; and 0.007 ± 0.013 g-1.0 day- 1 for k3. Keywords: Black soldier fly; Growth model kinetics; Larvae; Organic waste 1. Introduction Municipal solid waste (MSW) has become an interesting issue in the sustainable development of human life (Gabriel Andari Kristanto, 2015).
