Field of Study: Business

Business is the study and practice of managing organizations, financial resources, and market interactions to generate economic value. It encompasses various disciplines, including marketing, finance, management, and entrepreneurship, all of which offer insights into industry growth and economic dynamics. A business perspective helps analyze societal trends, consumer behavior, and strategic decision making, making it a vital part of economic and social sciences. The study of business benefits society by driving innovation, supporting economic development, and equipping individuals with the knowledge to create and sustain successful enterprises.

Insects, like black soldier flies, are changing business by helping with waste, farming, and trade. Their young break down food scraps and turn them into useful animal feed, saving money and cutting waste. A report from the Climate & Clean Air Coalition discusses how black soldier fly technology can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while producing valuable by-products like protein for animal feed and insect oil (“Full Circle Bioconversion LLC” 2025). Raising insects is gaining attention from investors and making supply chains stronger since it needs fewer resources and can adjust to changes. Full Circle Bioconversion, a company in Pennsylvania, has processed 192,000 pounds of food waste since 2020 using black soldier fly larvae, helping to reduce landfill waste and methane emissions (Aucker 2025). Companies using insects in their plans benefit both financially and environmentally, showing that making money and protecting nature can work together.
