The report evaluates the environmental impacts of replacing conventional hen feed with three alternatives: black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal, processed food waste feed, and bakery by-product meal. While bakery meal is the only option that does not increase overall environmental impacts, BSFL and food waste feed show significant benefits in reducing land use. The study highlights a critical trade-off where novel ingredients often increase greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption due to processing energy, though they can reduce the pressure to convert native habitats like the Northern Great Plains into commodity cropland.
