Starting in October 2025, ISC Hau Giang and its partners will begin a pilot program for a circular economy model that uses AIoT technology for a farming system based on the black soldier fly. This is a groundbreaking model that will be transferred to farmers who wish to collaborate with ISC Hau Giang.
Currently, many local areas in the Mekong Delta region produce and export processed food, which generates an increasing amount of untreated organic waste. This not only wastes available resources but also has a significant negative impact on the environment, especially in residential areas.
Black Soldier Flies are considered a sustainable solution due to their superior bioconversion capabilities. Black Soldier Flies can convert 1 ton of organic waste into 250kg of valuable products, including high-protein animal feed, natural fertilizer, and other useful materials. Additionally, this method is not only cost-effective but also extremely eco-friendlyThis model has been proven to have a carbon footprint that is 7 times lower han that of traditional fishmeal production.
Specifically, at ISC Hau Giang, the organic mushroom cultivation process is implemented using IoT technology. Environmental sensors stimulate the growth of mushrooms. After harvesting, the mushroom waste is used to feed the Black Soldier Flies, which in turn provides a nutrient-rich food source for fish raised in biofloc ponds. The fish ponds are also monitored by a sensor system via an IoT platform, with remote surveillance and an AI system to track the growth of the fish until harvest.
Please watch the following video clip for more detailed information. In addition to this model, ISC Hau Giang will soon implement a clean chili cultivation model using IoT for export purposes.
