Look inside the first commercial cricket farm in the USA where bugs are bred for people to eat. Circa is here. It's your new way to do news. Facebook: / circa Twitter: / circa Instagram: / circa
my name is prince ifeanyi nnabuife emeka ,i just saw your video on you-tube on insect breeding, please this has been my dreamand i will like to be trained on that area of production of these insects, for food and livestock .to reduce unemployment and poverty in my country please how can you people be of help to me my dream and my people
Good video but there is also a place in Youngstown, OH that grow cricket for Human consumption. Good that you are both looking into this area of food production. Keep up the good work.
Not sure dates/where they're at now (or at the time you posted your comment), but the Youngstown team were impacted by a Flint like water crisis & shut down at least temporarily :(
Why do you feed them on an all grain diet? That's competing with humans for food, why not add some non-human edible variety in there too to cut down the environmental footprint even further?
Lilac Lizard Because, while it may not be unsafe, feeding things that humans can't consume limit their nutritional value. Feeding them grains or veggies would indirectly benefit us(as they would be better nutritionally) and would benefit them.
MonsterLord, great explanation, thanks :) & I guess it makes a lot of sense at least to start with to get this food on the market & widely accepted, but it would be sad if it had to stay that way long term, because in terms of feed to output ratio, from my understanding chickens are currently at 1.7kgs to produce 1kg of edible chicken & reducing all the time, while crickets are at 1.6kgs of food to produce 1kg of produce, so they're struggling to compete in terms of which can feed the world better if they can't make more of that food non-human edible. Imo, crickets are far more ethical than those chickens that have been breed to grow so fast that they break their own bones if they try to move around & have far more ability to feel & respond to pain than crickets do, so I really want to see crickets & other insects succeed & replace a lot of the chicken market
Its actually not a good answer...we can't eat grass (we can't digest it), yet cows have rumens that can convert the indigestible stuff into edible stuff (meat and milk). This is the wonderful thing about insects - in that they can devour food that humans struggle with, and can still convert it into something of incredibly high nutritional value.
Me to. That would be so much better for the environment. Though I wonder about the health affects of eating crickets vs red meat and chicken. I grow crickets for my leopard gecko but can't imagine eating them.
Are ya shocked about the desire to feed insects to humans under a greenwash shocked by seven decades of weather and climate engineering as well, or just about renewable recyclable cardboard which doesn’t produce micro plastics?
@@greyhnd001 they engineer the weather and climate and you think cardboard which is 100% recyclable, biodegradable, renewable is bad, but plastic which eventually breaks down especially biodegradable plastic which leaves micro plastics in the environment which is everywhere and in everyone and everything, is good for the environment, because you’ve been brainwashed by big oil and agenda21. Insects contain chitin, which can be an allergy issue and it’s bloody disgusting to brainwash humans into behaving like birds for a green wash agenda. Think Ted Turner & his buds will be eating bugs, or his ranches beef?
