Abstract
Management waste in developing countries is causing environmental concerns, particularly food waste. The study explores the use of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) in managing organic waste and food waste in the business of Mega Maggot. The research aims to promote BSF as a potential and economical alternative to recycling biological waste. The study also discusses the challenges faced in changing the traditional feed model for maggot production, which relies on factory-made or subsidized feed. The authors utilized the Classic Life Cycle to create Mega Maggot’s website, a sequential software development process that minimizes errors and allows for easy modifications during testing. This method ensures accurate results and publishability. The author created a prototype website for Mega Maggot, serving as an informative learning media and purchasing platform for products and services. Activity diagrams on this website illustrate users as companies, individuals, and agents. This website offers a user-friendly interface with an earth-tone base color and sufficient fonts. Users can perform various activities, including purchasing menus and accounts. The Mega Academy offers three programs: Mega classes, workshops, and visits, focusing on waste management, organic waste management, and BSF breeding. The company also provides products like fresh, dried, and organic fertilizers.
