ALTERNATIVE FOODS & FARM
ABOUT US
Promoting insect agriculture manufactured into an alternative, healthy and sustainable food source.
Our History
Since 2016, we have been committed to the education and advocacy of entomophagy (eating bugs) to help address environmental challenges our planet faces such as land deforestation, water scarcity, soil degradation and food insecurity. Through our micro-livestock farming efforts, educational workshops and food production, we hope to help empower people and improve lives. |
Our Mission
Our mission is simple...we just want to help feed people and help lessen our environmental harm on the planet. We believe industrialization of insect agriculture is an easily accessible means to a healthy, sustainable and affordable food source. |
