One-fifth of the world's fishing catch is used to feed pigs, poultry and farmed fish. In France and Malaysia, Veolia is partnering two start-ups which raise fly larvae on biowaste and specialize in insect farming. The protein from the larvae is then used to feed fish. Just one way to reduce overfishing - and the space devoted to both livestock farming and animal feed crops.
