DAVOS AND THE WEF IS MERELY A WORD SALAD OF THE ELITES... THEIR FINE DINING MENU HAS MANY OTHER "THINGS" TO DINE ON!
- By 2050, the world's food supply will need to feed another 2 billion people;
- Insect farming for food and animal feed could offer an environmentally friendly solution to the impending food crisis; BUT ISN'T THE WORLD 75% COVERED IN WATER?
- A source of protein and fertilizer, emerging technologies could help bring insects back into the food system at scale.
In order to address this impending crisis, world experts and leaders will meet this autumn at the UN Food Summit and then the COP26. Often overlooked in these discussions is the potential role insects can play in helping meet this challenge.
Have you read any of the Davos menu's? No insects, no maggots, nada!!!
Insects contribute to the biological foundation of our terrestrial ecosystem. They bring organic matter to the earth by decomposing waste, act as pollinators for the reproduction and dispersal of plants and flowers, and are also a source of food for a multitude of animal species, from birds to amphibians to humans. Davos attendee's also bring organic matter a lot of bull shit and word salad to the world.
The concept of insect farming is not new and, currently, 1-1.2 trillion insects are raised on farms annually for food and animal feed. The practice has, however, remained mostly manual – until now. Thanks to new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), we are at a turning point and finally able to industrialize the breeding of insects in a contained environment. Insect breeding is a data centric agro-industry with a lot of commonalities with precision agriculture.
