Insect-farm – Video of the day

The world’s first edible insect farms have gone into production after a successful Kickstarter campaign by Katharina Unger and her company Livin Farms.
The compact desktop device – called Hive – allows owners to cultivate and harvest mealworms in their kitchens for use in a variety of recipes, including mealworm cookies, dumplings and risotto.
Speaking at Made In Space, a three-day festival held at Space10 in Copenhagen’s meatpacking district, Unger told the crowd, “We want to get insects to a point where they are not something strange but actually part of our everyday life and our everyday diet.”
“Insects combine the best of meat- and plant-based proteins while taking only a quarter of the feed and 10 percent of the land that is usually required to grow the same amount of beef.”
Following two years of development by Livin Farms, including 2016’s Kickstarter campaign, the first 300 farms will be delivered to customers later this year.
