Our partner Egerton University has been granted a national patent for a groundbreaking invention: Temperature-Adapted Fish Feed Compositions Based on Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Patent No. KE 1063). Developed by Dr. Benjamin Musyimi and his team together with the INCiTiS-FOOD Living Lab hosted by Prof. George Owuor, this innovation transforms organic by-products into sustainable fish feed adapted to different pond temperatures, leading to healthier fish, lower costs, and less environmental impact.
This milestone perfectly reflects the spirit of INCiTiS-FOOD – empowering local innovation through Europe–Africa collaboration to build circular, climate-resilient, and inclusive food systems. From insect-based feeds to aquaponics and hydroponics, our Living Labs, like Egerton’s in Nakuru, show how science and community can turn urban food challenges into green opportunities.
Congratulations to Egerton University and the INCiTiS-FOOD Nakuru Living Lab.
