Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Compost with black soldier flies
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Food scraps and coffee grounds collected from zero waste stations and kitchens across campus are picked up by a local farmer for livestock feed. The scraps are fed to black soldier fly larvae which grow into full size flies which are then fed to ducklings. Once the ducklings grow to full size they are harvested and sold into the community; including the University culinary arts department. This poultry is then prepared by the student chefs and served to patrons at the University café.
