Insect farming takes hold in Uganda for food and feed
Original: From black soldier flies to mealworms: farming insects for food, fodder and fertiliser in Uganda By Umberto Diecinove Cu
A report by Umberto Diecinove examines insect farming in Uganda, where black soldier flies and mealworms are being cultivated as food for people, fodder for livestock and fertiliser for crops. Families raising the nutritious bugs can feed animals and enrich their diets while easing pressure on the land, and the practice is drawing attention as a low-cost, sustainable agricultural alternative.
Why now: The report highlights a growing sustainable farming trend that offers food security and environmental benefits.
