Striving for a global overview, the project focuses on both the people working towards change and those who would benefit from it. Farming insects could make smallholder farmers less dependent on expensive – and environmentally costly – imported products: a pathway to community sovereignty. Additionally in industrial contexts insect farming is an emerging sector handling the increasing amount of organic waste, with the potential to lessen the environmental impact of the agri-industrial sector.
The photographs were taken in research centers, farms, communities and companies in Europe (The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal), Colombia, Thailand, Malaysia and in the U.S. (California and Texas).
During the shoots I also recorded audio interviews. Suitable for multimedia installations some of these conversations are published as a podcast “Get The Bug” available on all major platforms.
