Description

“It was amazing when Black Soldier Fly kind of presented themselves as a vehicle to finally put my money where my mouth was, and try and do something other than just understand things for myself, or maybe my family and friends: it’s an opportunity to create a better and more resilient food system”."I like to think of myself as a scientific philosopher, critiquing the process, the speed, the priorities, the funding. With something so new and powerful and broadly applicable as insect agriculture, we have to make sure we don't bring the baggage of the systems we're trying to steer in a much better direction. We have to take this where it truly can go, which, to be honest, certainly goes well beyond our business model".Micheal Place, Chapul Farms CTO.With Micheal we talked about insect agriculture, broken systems, biomimicry, aquaculture, dancing with the devil and a personal journey around nutrition that ends up with clarity of thinking.

I’m Umberto Diecinove, I am a documentary photographer and a filmmaker. And – for a while now – I’ve been investigating the potential role of insects in the solution of some of the global challenges we’re currently facing.To do this, I’ve been traveling around the world, taking photographs and talking to world experts, visionary entrepreneurs, activists and people working in the field.Welcome to Get the Bug Podcast, where you can listen to the conversations I recorded during my journey.Farming insects could reduce the agriculture need for land and overfishing in the oceans, but also lower greenhouse emissions and help smallholder farmers, in developing economies, to depend less on expensive imported feed.So… what if insects are the next game changers?Join me for this insightful conversation on the potential of insects to make the world a better place, and the lessons we can learn from nature to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.Check out www.gtbpodcast.com for more details.
