The invention relates to a method for breeding yellow meal worms by utilizing agricultural and subsidiary wastes in rural areas. The method comprises the steps that various agricultural and subsidiary wastes are gathered, dried in the sun and smashed, and smashed wastes are obtained; by weight, 40%-75% of the smashed wastes, 20%-40% of bran, 10%-20% of corn powder, 0.5%-1.5% of salt, 0.05-0.25% of monosodium glutamate and 0.05%-0.3% of yeast powder or 0.05%-0.3% of an EM solution are sealed in a plastic bag for fermentation; finally, the fermented smashed mixtures serve as feed for breeding the yellow meal worms. According to the method, not only is the pollution problem caused by the agricultural and subsidiary wastes in the rural areas solved, but also a simple feasible scheme is provided for ecological civilization promotion, cyclic economy development and sustainable development of rural economy. In addition, the method provides the scheme of insect protein production and explores the feasible technical scheme for producing safe fresh food.
