jcrdescription
When you think of the world's immense biodiversity, it's surprising people eat such a small variety of foods – a few grains, a few animal species. One of the main sources of protein in the animal kingdom remains largely uncultivated: insects. Farming them in an organized way presents an opportunity to make a dent in hunger and climate change while creating jobs.

When you think of the world's immense biodiversity, it's surprising people eat such a small variety of foods – a few grains, a few animal species.
