What is this Community Talks about?

Traditional agricultural production in northern Uganda is characterized by low yields which do not meet the nutritional needs of the growing human population. 🌍

Communities face significant challenges in achieving self-reliance and have limited livelihood options resulting in food insecurity and malnutrition.

This project aims to improve community resilience in northern Uganda by developing efficient and sustainable technologies for mass-rearing of highly nutritious and sustainable protein-rich edible grasshopper, Ruspolia differens and edible cricket species, Acheta domesticus. 🦗
