It brought together UK producers and users of insect-based products both as animal feed and as a novel protein source in human diets, where we had the opportunity to discuss the progress that has been made over the last year and exchange ideas. Day one focused on insects as food, and day two examined insects as animal feed. Both days begin with a case study followed by three short presentations that outline developments and challenges in that sector. Day One Case Study 1 - Andy Holcroft from Grub Kitchen.

You're listening to the into podcast and I am your host Ross. Thanks so much for tuning in, I really appreciate you giving me your ears. Todays show is not a usual show as they will start again in the new year, but more of a bio show where we look at at someone leading the way in the Into world. But before we do that I just want to say hi to some of the latest followers, really think I should have started this when I stared the show back in 2017 but the show is now listed to in too many countries and by too many people for me to start but leave me a comment for todays show at the Ento podcast.co.uk and you could get a shout out on the next one. So Hi and thanks for tuning in to Josh Kraut, karl schmieder thanks so much for liking the show. Ok, as I said earlier todays show is going to be a Bio show and we will be looking at Robert Nathan Allen better known as RNA…and if you don’t know or haven’t heard of RNA then after todays show I need you to go and sit on the naughty step especially if you are a US listener Robert Nathan Allen (RNA) for me being outside of the US has to be the biggest spokes person.. advocate of entomophagy I know. Don’t get me wrong there are people who have been doing this longer and people who have more publicity but only just started but RNA has been to use a phrase loud and proud about eating insects and their use as feed as long as the UN report. He founded little Herds, has worked for Aspire Foods, co founded Grub tubs and is also involved with the North American Coalition for Insect Agriculture So lets start at the beginning Little Herds - http://www.littleherds.org/ Little Herds is an educational nonprofit based in Austin, Texas and they teach kids about insects as a resource efficient, nutritious and delicious food or feed through experiential STEAM based programs; family friendly events; public advocacy outreach; and partnerships with educators, universities and other organizations. STEAM fields are science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, Their mission is to educate and empower communities, both locally and globally, to support and promote the use of insects for food and feed as an environmentally sound and economically viable source of nutrition. Aspire Foods - Aspire Food Group, Manufactures a variety of food products made from crickets, Aspire are based in the US and in Ghana In the US they raise food-grade crickets on a commercial scale, and are actively working to normalise the consumption of insects in the western world. They use robotics and data collection in their cricket farms in the US enabling them automate the feeding and heating of the livestock and are using the data they have gathered to help them build autonomous robotic systems to farm their insects from hatch-to-harvest. Their proprietary technology enables rapid and high-fidelity integration of farming techniques, resulting in process standardisation and farm modularity which means their farms can be built anywhere and consistently provide reliable, low-cost yield. In Ghana they commercially farm palm weevil larvae and run a program which empowers peri-rural farmers to raise palm weevils locally. From their travels around Southern Thailand they learned the basics of palm weevil larva farming from Thai farmers and later they used their precision-farming principles and adapted the Thai farming techniques for the local African species, reducing the cost and increasing the supply of palm weevil larva., where palm weevil larva had previously only been harvested from the wild. Aketta - http://www.aketta.com/ Through their Aketta brand they sell their crickets dried whole or powdered along with a range of granola but in March of 2018 they announced that they had acquired Exo, which makes protein bars made from crickets. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2018/03/08/cricket-food-company-aspire-acquires-cricket-protein-bar-maker-exo/ Grub tubs -...

Today on The Ento Podcast we have another Bio Show; this time on Robyn Shapiro You're listening to the Ento podcast and I am your host Ross. Thanks so much for tuning in, I really appreciate you giving me your ears. Todays show is not a usual show as they will start again in the new year, but more of a bio show where we look at at someone leading the way in the Ento world. But before we do that I just want to say hi to some of the latest followers, really think I should have started this when I stared the show back in 2017 but the show is now listed to in too many countries and by too many people for me to start but leave me a comment for todays show at the Ento podcast.co.uk and you could get a shout out on the next one. So Hi and thanks for tuning in to Patrick @warpedlabs, Kiwi Power @kiwipowdered and Boldlygrowhomestead @boldlygrow thanks so much for liking the show. Ok, as I said earlier todays show is going to be a Bio show and we will be looking at Robyn Shapiro Robyn Shapiro Her first entry into the business was at the ripe age of 15 when she froze fruit in the middle of the hot Summer and corralled her friends to join her to sell it in Boston's Harvard Square. Years later, motivated by a broken system around Westerners' increasing and unsustainable desire for meat, Robyn was convinced that crickets provided a fresh solution as they provide comparable amounts of protein, but with far less of an impact on our environment and animals' lives. What began as a series of dinners with friends at her home, evolved into Seek, allowing people from all around the world to join the movement in eating cricket protein. She has also worked as a a rooftop farmer at Eagle Street, the nation’s first commercial green roof farm, and served as the Deputy Director at the Lowline, a solar illuminated future underground park with plants and vegetables. Terreform For those of us who have been around for a while and remember the Terreform porcupine modular cricket farm Robyn was also involved in that. For those who have no idea what I am on about I will have a link in the show notes but it was a modular cricket farm that appeared on a Dockside in New York and had these spikes along the top that helps the air flow, it was really funky and would have been worthy of a Mad Max or Bad Runner film if it wasn’t white. Anyway back to Seek Foods who among their advisors and founders are Gary Vaynerchuk and David George Gordon, Seek Foods are members of 1% For The Planet, where they give 1% of all proceeds to food-focused non-profits close to their heart including: Edible Schoolyard NYC Farms to Orphans and our good friends Little Herds Seek foods have a new cook book where they have Delicious Cricket Flour Recipes from Respected Chefs to Help You Embrace the Next Wave of Food Sustainability. Before we go on long time listeners will know that I hate people saying cricket flour but this is one of the reasons why. A few years ago everyone who sold cricket powder called it cricket flour, myself included but the you get a lot of customer questions when it doesn’t act like flour so across the board everyone stopped calling it flour and started referring to it as powder. Anyway, back to the cookbook. As well as doing a cricket protein powder Seek foods also have a all purpose cricket flour which is a mixture of all purpose flour and crickets So Robyn and the guys and gals at Seek Foods talked to a range of award winning chefs and bakers. The cookbook provides an intriguing look into the nutritional and sustainability benefits of crickets, paired with the unique perspectives from the culinary professionals responsible for making the future just a little more delicious. Also in their range is: Gluten free cricket flour,(a mixture of brown and white rice flour, potato starch, cricket powder, tapioca and sorghum flour. Paleo cricket flour (a mixture of arrowroot flour, almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour and cricket...

You're listening to the Ento podcast and I am your host Ross. Thanks so much for tuning in; I really appreciate you giving me your ears. Today’s show is not a usual show as they will start again in the new year, but more of a bio show where we look at at someone leading the way in the Into world. But before we do that I just want to say hi to some of the latest followers, really think I should have started this when I stared the show back in 2017 but the show is now listed to in too many countries and by too many people for me to start but leave me a comment for todays show at TheEntopodcast.co.uk and you could get a shout out on the next one. So Hi and thanks for tuning in to Karol B, Marco Vash and Anaman Hassan thanks so much for liking the show. Ok, as I said earlier todays show is going to be a Bio show and we will be looking at Wendy Lu McGill. Wendy Lu is the Founder/CEO of Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch, Colorado’s first and only edible insect farm. Together with business partner Kyle they raise crickets and mealworms in a modified shipping container heated by solar power in Denver Colorado, Prior to founding Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch, Wendy Lu worked for nearly twelve years with international aid agencies around the world in sectors as diverse as water and sanitation, human trafficking and rural infrastructure development. An executive board member of Little Herds, the world’s only non-profit organization advocating for insects as food and feed, Wendy Lu is also a founding member of the National North American Edible Insect Coalition, which is working with federal agencies to set regulations for insects as food and feed in the U.S. and Canada. she holds an MA in international and intercultural communication from the University of Denver and a BA in international affairs from the University of Colorado at Boulder. As a PhD candidate at the Plant and AgriBiosciences Centre at the National University ofIreland at Galway, my focus is on edible insect farming as a climate smart agriculture practice for food and nutritional security, specifically researching the political and cultural systems that affect insect farming. Wendy Lu has also spoken at Ted a couple of time and I will put links to these in the show notes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlzUT9L8jjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXeSG1sOA6k The RMMR farm..sorry ranch as I mentioned earlier is a converted shipping container in the heart of Denver's vibrant Westwood neighbourhood. One of about 12 such farms in the U.S The team at Rmmr raise their stock on spent grain that they get from micro breweries and micro distillers in Denver which I think is great. I really like the whole idea of using waste from one process to feed another system or thing. As well as using local brew houses and distilleries she has also collaborated with local chefs for snack flavours one example is their Kentucky cricket snack where Wendy Lu and chef Daniel Asher from Boulders River and Woods came up with the idea of brining crickets in local buttermilk then dredged through local cornmeal, salt along with 15 different herbs and spices. The farms products can be sampled at the various restaurants in Colorado Linger Comida (The Source and the Stanley) el Jefe and Las Vegas Sushi-Ko (Las Vegas, NV) With the Butterfly Pavilion, Denver’s invertebrate zoo, we recently launched Insectables, an insect snack line, now available in three Denver area museums AND CAN BE BOUGHT IN Butterfly Pavilion Children’s Museum of Denver Denver Museum of Nature & Science EntoSense Old Town Spice Shop The guys at RMMR have also successfully completed a crowdfunding project on pie shell (https://www.pieshell.com/projects/rocky-mountain-micro-ranch) where they raised over $11k The project funds were needed as their sales in the last 3 years have jumped so much their one shipping container is at max production. As they already...
