Abstract
Global food demand versus crop production disparity is a critical issue exacerbated by food loss, with developing nations contributing 0.4 billion tons to the 1.3 billion tons lost globally. In specific regions like DKI Jakarta, Depok, Bogor & Bali, daily food waste totals 4,864 tons, amounting to 1,775,360 tons annually. The need for human consumption of animal protein is influenced by the availability of fish meal. Indonesia^s annual 10.8 million tons of fish meal imports underscore this challenge. Therefore, a circular economy with the black soldier fly offers a sustainable solution for feed and food production. The paper provides an overview of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) and its circular economy model as a potential solution, with a focus on feed availability to support meat production and uses in organic waste management. This study reviews papers that discuss the utilization of food waste from the hotel restaurant and cafe (horeca) sector and in optimizing the availability of protein-based feed using BSF. In this research, the terms ^circular economy,^ ^BSF,^ ^sustainable feed,^ and ^sustainable food^ are used to identify articles that have been published within the last ten years. Through the use of literature selection, papers are assessed throughout time. Stakeholder analysis and business model mapping were used to produce the study^s findings. Studies show that the management of organic waste generated from horeca food waste can make a profitable contribution to sustainable feed supply. This is reinforced by organic waste conversion rate data resulting from the utilization of horeca organic waste.
