An environmentally conscious biotechnologist in Kazakhstan has raised an army of trash-eating black soldier flies to help clean up the country's struggling waste management industry.

In Kazakhstan, most garbage, including around 40 percent of food waste, is sent to landfills, causing significant ecological problems. This fly farm processes 15-20 tons of organic waste per month and turns it into fertilizer to support agricultural needs, leading some scientists to believe that the country's food waste problem can be solved with the help of flies.
