Niraly MANGAL

Researcher, Using black soldier flies in food waste management and sustainable food production in urban systems

As part of an intra-CREATE collaborative research project, Niraly is working on investigating design, network, and operational solutions for integrating food waste management and sustainable food production using Black Soldier Flies (BSFs) in high density urban environments.

She also collaborates with the Agropolitan Territories to support the development of a digital planning tool, ur-scape. She works in close collaboration with organizations such as Swiss Secretariat of Economic Affairs, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support development of smart city technologies and the associated urban data-systems, gender equality, female empowerment, pandemic resilience, heritage sensitive planning, and urban resilience.
