Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens): Sustainable Applications in Food, Feed, and Beyond is an interdisciplinary work that compiles the latest research on an insect poised to revolutionize the future of food and agriculture. Authored by an international team of experts, this book is an indispensable resource for entomologists, food scientists, zoologists, and veterinarians. It delves into how the black soldier fly, one of the seven insect species permitted by European Union regulations for animal feed, can convert organic matter into nutrient-rich larval biomass. The book explores the biology and behavior of Hermetia illucens, providing a foundational understanding of the insect.
It then discusses farming and production methods, followed by various applications, including its nutritional and health benefits as food and feed, and its potential in bio-packaging and energy production. This comprehensive guide offers valuable insights into the transformative potential of this unique bio-converter.
