Food waste is potential organic waste as growing media for supporting black soldier fly larval growth. It is rich in nutrients containing carbohydrates, protein and fat. A black soldier fly larva is an insect that has the ability to convert various types of organic waste into biomass that valuable as animal feed. Bioconversion process by larvae can be used as an alternative technology for organic waste management that environmentally friendly and low cost. This study aimed to determine the ability of black soldier larvae in converting organic waste based on larval growth rate, larval mortality rate, waste reduction index (WRI) and digestible feed efficiency (ECD). The research method was carried out on 3-day-old larvae fed with food waste (fruits waste and restaurant waste) with variations in feeding rate : 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/larva/day (wb). All treatment was replicated five times and all samples were measured in dry weight (mg). The results showed that the treatment of restaurant waste 150 mg/larva/day (wb) is the highest larval final weight of 87.55 mg (db), the fastest growth time for 28 days with the lowest mortality rate of 3.99 %, and the highest ECD (21.02%).
