About
Olympia Yarger is an Australian innovator and entrepreneur, renowned for her pioneering work in insect farming and sustainable waste management. She is the founder and CEO of Goterra, an agritech startup that utilizes insects, specifically black soldier fly larvae, to process food waste into valuable products like protein-rich animal feed and organic fertilizer.
Established in 2014, Goterra has developed a modular, autonomous system known as Modular Infrastructure for Biological Services (MIBS). These units house larvae that consume food waste, converting it into useful by-products. The system is designed to be deployed directly at waste generation sites, reducing the need for waste transportation and offering a decentralized approach to waste management.
