Achieving food sovereignty with edible insects: Breaking the cycle of poverty and malnutrition

YAY! Just saw this traveling around on Twitter: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39480161 Congrats on the exposure for a worthy project!

YAY! I did a happy dance for you when I saw the project was funded. I'm really passionate about the notion that insects can feed the world, if only we could break down that "ew" barrier. The residents of Burkina Faso are a perfect example of a people who have no such barriers and just need a way keep that protein source available year-round...and also create a stream of income. It's a worthy endeavor. Best of luck.

Not like anything else, just DELICIOUS!!

Please keep us up-to-date with what you learn!

I support food SOVEREIGNTY where small holders have a sustainable food base and can capitalize on that. I look forward to learning how you find the right Shea type food for these caterpillars that is indigenous. I am not so keen on the idea of synthetics that are not local. That cannot be viable.

Thank you for your support Gregory, we wil keep you posted of the progess.

Amazing work everyone, can't wait to see how this progresses! :)

well done charlotte keep up good work with your colleagues and all those who will benefit

Absolutely amazing project. Delighted to support!

This is a wonderful idea! I'm impressed at the goals you've outlined and excited to see how it all goes. I'm all for feeding the world, one edible insect at a time :)

This project sounds AMAZING. I can't wait to hear more from your team!

Good luck!!
