NAIROBI - Kenyan farmer Victor Kyalo’s chickens have doubled the number of eggs they are laying. The reason: Human excrement.
“Before we were getting like five trays per day, but now we are getting 10,” Kyalo said. “It’s kind of perfect for me.” By 2023 the global edible insect market could triple to $1.2 billion from current levels, market research firm Meticulous Research said last year. During the rains, they often overflow, polluting local waterways. That can make workers ill. Days off slow Kenya’s economy by around 1% annually, its Health Ministry said.
Nestled beneath her squat-toilets are small blue barrels that, once full, are sealed and taken to an organics recycling factory in Machakos County, a bumpy 40-minute drive outside the city. “Right now we are receiving equity debt, and grant investment to scale up operations,” Auerbach said. “We’re on track for profitability by the end of 2020.”
