Finding Impact TV 3: Mashing up insects for profit
On this episode, I talk to Adan Mohammed, who is one incredible guy. He’s started a business making chicken feed from insects, which he feeds with organic waste, which then turns into fertilizer. As he recalls “I spread the normal chicken food out on the floor, and the chickens ignored it, preferring to scratch around for insects. So I decided to make insect chicken food at scale.”
Watch below to hear his incredible story.
ecodudu is solving two global problems; waste food and nutrient shortage. They do this by up-cycling discarded food to create sustainable and locally produced animal feed ingredients and natural fertilizer.
