Hydro Victoria collects and transforms organic waste into manure and insect larvae protein. Through their integrated approach, they address challenges related to food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss.

Hydro Victoria contributes to the circular economy by upcycling organic waste into valuable resources such as organic manure and insect larvae protein. They reduce the use of fish meal in animal feed by incorporating black soldier fly larvae meal, promoting resource efficiency and minimising waste generation.

Their services include training farmers in aquaculture, designing and operating insect farms, organic waste management, supply of fish and poultry feeds, and the provision of agricultural equipment and security appliances.
