In a world where malnutrition is a growing concern, especially in developing countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, one innovative solution is gaining attention - edible insects! Specifically, protein-rich larvae are being studied as a sustainable alternative to traditional meat sources. Farms for Orphans, a Kinshasa-based non-profit organization, has taken the lead in providing protein-rich larvae to local orphanages to feed deprived children. With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the organization has produced up to 660 pounds of palm larvae per month and provides meals to several hundred children per quarter. But what does this mean for the future of food security? Will insect-based protein be the solution to malnutrition? Watch our video to learn more about this innovative approach and what it could mean for the world. #econews #sustainabilitynews #greennews #foodsecurity
