Description

Featuring Jeffrey Tomberlin (Texas A&M University), Christine Picard (The Indiana University and Purdue University Indianapolis), Heather Jordan (Mississippi State University), Patrick Crowley (Chapul Farms), Christopher Warburton (Entosystem), Cheyrl Preyer, (CEIF industry liason officer). “Universities are often looking further out and they dive deeper. Industries have to be more short sighted in terms of where the research is going. In the case of insect agriculture we’re in the dark ages, just jumping into applied research would be a shallow way to develop a body of knowledge.”We talked about the insect frontier today, dark ages, highest priorities, aquaponics, fast food, microbs, revalorizing food waste, bubbles and counteropinions.

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.
