“…According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, a 70% increase in global food production is needed by the year 2050 (FAO 2013; Olowe et al 2021. Neuhoff et al 2021).…”

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFLs) are used for recycling organic waste. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cassava, yam and sweet potato peels on BSFL production. Four different treatments were performed in triplicate in a completely random block consisting of soy bran (TSB), cassava peel (TCP), yam peel (TYP) and sweet potato peel (TPP). A density of 1 larva/g of substrate was used with a uniform ratio of 100 mg/larva/day. Larval growth was 10 days, and growth monitoring was carried out every 2 days. The daily weight gain (DWG) ranged from 2.19 ± 0.09 g/d (TYP) to 4.53 ± 0.02 g/d (TSB). The production of these fungi ranged from 43.90 ± 1.87 g/kg of substrate (TYP) to 90.56 ± 0.54 g/kg of substrate (TSB). The degradation rate ranged from 36.00 ± 2.30% (TYP) to 65.00 ± 2.88% (TSB), and the survival rate ranged from 77.66 ± 1.45% (TYP) to 99.00 ± 0.28% (TSB). According to the Z correlation test, there was a strong correlation between the organic matter content of the substrates and the DWG (99.1%). It was also observed that phosphorus content was strongly correlated with DWG (92.9%). Regarding the nutritional quality of the larvae, the protein content varied from 33.51 ± 0.94% (TYP) to 40.64 ± 032% (TSB), and the lipid content varied from 26.24 ± 0.35% (TYP) to 30.44 ± 0.18% (TSB). We noticed generally a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the different treatments depending on the parameters. This study revealed that casava, yam and sweet potato peels can be used for BSFL production.

Increased food production necessitates technological adoption. Model adoption is a term that refers to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The model development research seeks to identify critical variables influencing technology adoption. The development objective is to accelerate the adoption of innovative technology. A literature study is used to develop the UTAUT model and identifies significant factors. SALSA was utilized to conduct this literature review (Secondary Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis). The analytical technique employed is a meta-analysis, with the findings shown as a forest plot. Three hundred ten journals were collected for this study evaluation, with 11 selected for further examination. Currently, 13 models are being used in selected journals to modify the UTAUT model. Much of the research in Asia is conducted in research sites. In comparison to the modified UTAUT model, the UTAUT model has the most significant association with technology adoption (0.432). On the other hand, that model exhibits a high degree of heterogeneity (81.5%). Behavioral Intention (0.384) is a component of the UTAUT model, with considerable variability seen in the data (70.3%). Agriculture interventions must be directed at boosting the use of technology. A farmer may engage the services of a mediator following the UTAUT paradigm. Three critical factors to examine are Performance Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Condition Factors.

This special issue presents the outcomes from “Designing sustainable and circular agricultural systems for the year 2100,” the joint scientific workshop of ISOFAR, the Thünen-Institute, and INRA-Morocco, which was held from November 14 to 16, 2019 in Marrakesh, Morocco. Nineteen scientists from a broad array of background and nationalities came together with the understanding that food security globally is at risk, especially in the post-2050 timeframe. Current concepts, strategies, measures, and scientific efforts carried out by governments, NGOs, businesses, and societies do not deliver satisfying solutions for how to sustainably produce enough healthy and affordable food to support the global population. With the economic and social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, it became even more evident that food security is a challenge. This workshop took an innovative approach to addressing the challenges of future agriculture by considering sustainable, circular agricultural systems. Participants presented research results on algae-based food, edible insects, mushrooms, novel concepts for nutrient management, bioreactor-based farming, sustainable food culture, as well as sensor- and remote-controlled automatic food production. This special issue presents the papers contributed to the workshop and the results of the discussions.
