Insects as FEED and FOOD

How can WE feed our growing population while protecting our environment?

The Bug Picture believes that INSECTS are part of the larger solution, be it the farming of black soldier fly larvae and use of their outputs to create essential products, or alternative and sustainable desert locust response mechanisms or other insects that we are yet to play with.

About Us

We are Africans creating innovative and sustainable solutions for our continent using INSECTS. With a wide range of backgrounds and experience, we have come together around the idea of insects for circular economy, regenerative agriculture and climate resilience for a positive and impactful change for our people (and beyond).

WHY INSECTS?

20% of global meat production goes to feeding pets annually. 

Black soldier fly larvae are one of nature’s greatest recyclers (good-bye CO2 emissions from landfill) + rich in protein (hello sustainability). By moving to novel and sustainable protein sources, pets can be part of the climate change solution.
