My sustainability adventure has taken me places both near and far! Edible insects are what drew me to the amazing country that is Thailand- the land of smiles! After spending a year as an AmeriCorps member I decided to live overseas for six months while teaching biology at a public school in Thailand and learnings about (and eating) edible insects. I truly believe that insects are the key to a more sustainable global food system. I’m taking the lessons I’ve learned from Aunt Jai, a cricket farmer in my villiage, and continuing edible insect education in the United States. Together we can expand our palettes and save the planet- how cool is that?!
Great answer, thanks Kiah!
My adventures in sustainability had be raising bugs to feed our chickens so we could have our own eggs. The chickens typically ate our scrap foods but whatever they couldn’t eat went to the bug bin, which composed of black soldier fly larva. The larva ate scraps and became nice and fat for the chickens to enjoy.
