About
BSF Project publishes open designs and clear guides for the black soldier fly ecosystem—supporting homes, communities, and operators turning organic waste into feed, fertilizer, and less trash. Start with a 5-gallon module; scale when the loop works. The global project is the open platform; place-based pilots (for example Boquete) are registered communities, not the whole brand.
Voice: short, direct, industrial clarity. Black evokes the fly and the void of waste turned into value; foliage green marks life systems and interaction—not soft “eco” decoration on every surface.
