Hatch BioSystems CEO Claire Leach sees nothing strange about having 30-thousand flies and maggots hanging out in her Melbourne work space.

HatchBio is breeding black soldier fly larvae to make protein-rich livestock feed and organic fertiliser. 

With help from the Entrepreneurs' Programme, this unique Aussie company understands the bio-power of maggots in diverting thousands of tonnes of food waste from landfill every year.
