can insects turn out to be our ultimate saviour? featuring Ankit Alok Bagaria, founder, Loopworm
Description
The world population will reach 10 bn by 2050. A growing concern is, how to meet the protein requirements of this expanding population. Even today, the world has 1 billion cattle, 25 billion chicken, almost 1 billion pigs and numerous fish and shrimp farms. We need to feed these animals to eventually feed us.
