Full job description

Oberland Agriscience Inc. is a sustainable black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) farm in Halifax, NS. We are dedicated to closing the food loop in our region and making a positive contribution to our planet. Oberland’s high-performing team rears BSFL in our zero-waste facility, delivering exceptional productivity per hectare and yielding nutrient-rich, low-environmental impact products.

Partnering with local food producers and distributors, Oberland upcycles organic waste and food production by-products such as spent grains from local craft breweries to grow BSFL on an industrial scale. Oberland actively plays a role in a more sustainable circular economy in Atlantic Canada. Oberland generates high-quality sustainable protein products from the larvae, marketed and sold under the Obie’s BSFL brand, and is seeking certification on an insect-derived fertilizer product for home gardens and agricultural lands.
