🌱 Team Flycycle from Ghana Among Top 6 at Global Nature-Based Food Systems Challenge

We are proud to announce that Team Flycycle, representing the [School of Agriculture, University of Ghana], has been selected as one of the top 6 teams in the Nature-Based Food Systems Challenge held at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands.

🌍 Innovating with Nature: The Black Soldier Fly Solution

Led by Leader William Oduro (a first-year student), and supported by team members , Team Flycycle pitched an innovative and nature-based solution: the use of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) to convert organic waste into high-protein feed for livestock and nutrient-rich compost for crop production.

Their project offers a circular solution to multiple agricultural challenges — tackling food waste, improving soil fertility, and providing an affordable, eco-friendly source of protein for animal feed. It’s a scalable model that holds great promise for both urban and rural farming systems in Ghana and beyond.

🏆 Standing Out on a Global Stage

The Nature-Based Food Systems Challenge brought together 24 diverse teams of young innovators from around the world, each focused on reimagining the future of food through nature-based approaches. Competing at this high level, Team Flycycle's inclusion in the top 6 finalists is a powerful testament to their creativity, technical knowledge, and commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Their success shines a spotlight on the growing role of Ghanaian youth and institutions in global agricultural innovation, and reflects the strong academic foundation provided by the [School of Agriculture/University Name].

🌿 Looking Ahead

We warmly congratulate Team Flycycle on this outstanding achievement. Their work is not just a project — it’s a step toward building a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food system.

As they continue to develop and scale their solution, we are excited to see how they will inspire change both locally and globally.
