REFLECTION+STUDIO 2 PROPOSAL

It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food in more sustainable ways. If done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes while supporting people-centred rural development and protecting the environment.

Cricket Upcycles Contribution

The project creates conditions to support sustainable farming especially in urban dense areas. The design of areas for food production on a micro scale, is robust and flexible. Also it is able to intergrate within local production ecosystems as seen on Daylsford farm. The urban insect farm is capable of producing 36,143 g of fresh g of cricket fresh weight every 40 day cycle. Cricket Protien provides a nutricious protien and mineral source. The decline of global extreme poverty continues but has slowed. The deceleration indicates that the world is not on track to achieve the target of less than 3% of the world's population living in extreme poverty by 2030. Strong social protection systems and government spending on key services often help those left behind get back on their feet and escape poverty, but these services need to be brought to scale.

Cricket Upcycles Contribution The Cricket Upcycles project provides farmers an opportunity to make income through a new, low investment innovation, Knowing that Cricket protien could be one of the answers to future food scarcity, the demand will be be created to benefit from. Therefore creating a new line of work to help reduce the poverty issue. We provide training for new farmers which will improve thier livelihoods.
