In this conversation, Dr. Aaron T. Dossey discusses the surprising amount of land clearing around the globe for agriculture and its detrimental effects on the environment, including biodiversity loss and climate change. The solution, according to our guest, is insect protein as a sustainable alternative to traditional livestock because of the efficiency and nutritional benefits of growing insects for food. Dr. Dossey shares his journey into the field of entomophagy, detailing how he transitioned from a passion for insects to founding All Things Bugs LLC where he focuses on the commercialization of insect-based food products. In this conversation, Dr. Aaron T. Dossey discusses the challenges of the insect protein market, the processing techniques he developed, the hurdles faced in scaling production, and the importance of consumer acceptance. Dr. Dossey emphasizes the need for collaboration within the industry and shares his vision for a sustainable future where insect protein becomes a mainstream food source.Key points from this episode:Land clearing contributes significantly to climate change.Deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem degradation.Insect protein is more sustainable than traditional livestock.Insects require less water and resources for production.Insects provide complete proteins and essential nutrients.Funding opportunities can drive innovation in sustainable food sources.Product development in insect protein is complex but necessary.Scaling insect farming can address food security issues.Serendipity plays a role in entrepreneurial success.Innovative processing techniques can enhance the quality of insect protein.Market challenges include competition from lower-quality products.Consumer acceptance is crucial for scaling insect protein products.Collaboration within the industry can lead to more efficient practices.Raising awareness about the benefits of insect protein is essential.Funding and investment are critical for growth in this sector.Sustainable practices can make insect protein a viable alternative.The ingredient price must be competitive for widespread adoption.Consumer products can help normalize insect protein in diets.A better world includes more wild spaces and equitable economic systems. Sound Bites“It appears that land clearing potentially is a bigger problem than climate change.""We're losing species faster than we can track.""Insects are really a no-brainer when you really look at their benefits, their efficiency, all the positive attributes and lack of negative – other than perception, there really aren't a lot of negative attributes.""Insects use very little water compared to livestock. For example I see usually around 1% water use compared to beef, or something in that range.”"Insects are complete proteins, unlike many plants.""We need to scale up sustainable technologies quickly.""We need to reduce beef and dairy consumption.""We are the R&D labs for major food manufacturers." LinksDr Aaron T Dossey on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarontdossey/All Things Bugs - https://allthingsbugs.com/All Things Bugs on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/allthingsbugs/All Things Bugs on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AllthingsbugsAll Things Bugs on X - https://x.com/AllThingsBugsAll Things Bugs on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/AllThingsBugsAll Things Bugs on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@allthingsbugsAll Things Bugs: Leader in Insects as a Sustainable Bioresource - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgGWStYQC_YBugs In Space: Biomimicry Solution for Sustainable Food on the Moon, Mars and Earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp0S-Gfk_tAInsects as Sustainable Food Ingredients (Book) - https://shop.elsevier.com/books/insects-as-sustainable-food-ingredients/dossey/978-0-12-802856-8Invertebrate Studies Institute - https://isibugs.org/Invertebrate Studies Institute on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/isibugs/Invertebrate Studies Institute on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/InvertebrateStudiesInstitute/Invertebrate Studies Institute on X - https://x.com/ISIBugsInvertebrate Studies Institute Research Video - https://vimeo.com/user48219928Griopro (Ingredient) - https://griopro.com/Some videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgGWStYQC_Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp0S-Gfk_tAhttps://vimeo.com/user48219928…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio

Flies are amazing insects that play critical roles in our environment including pollination, waste disposal, pest control, and as a link in the food web. Flies are greatly diverse in colors, shape, size, and where they live. Butterflies and bees probably generate more enthusiasm, but it's time to change that. To talk about flies with us, we are joined by Dr. Erica McAlister, who works at the Natural History Museum in London, where she is the principal curator for Diptera and Siphonaptera, i.e., flies and fleas. Erica takes a particular interest in three groups of flies, fungus gnats, assassin flies, and mosquitoes. The latter means that inevitably she is involved with many projects related to identification of mosquitoes and which ones are associated with spread of malaria and other diseases and viruses, but her experience is much broader, including teaching entomology in Dominica and studying the invertebrates — more specifically, the flies — of that island. Finally, Erica is also the award-winning author of four books, including The Secret Life of Flies and The Inside Out of Flies.---Cover Photo: Whitney Cranshaw - Bugwood CC - Tachinid fly (Trichopoda pennipes) Thank you for listening!

When it comes to the title of the strongest insect, we've got some real contenders flexing their exoskeletons. First up, we've got the Hercules Beetle, lifting stuff that makes your gym weights look like marshmallows. But hold onto your antennae, because the Dung Beetle is here to roll with the big dung balls – they can move objects 1,141 times their own weight. Don't count out the Rhino Beetle, either – it's got the brute strength to rival its horned namesake. But the true heavyweight champ? The Dung Beetle takes the crown, proving that even in the insect world, strength comes in all shapes and sizes.

A conversation with Sébastien Crépieux, founder of Invers, developing a decentralised insect farming supply chain for animal nutrition, placing farmers at the heart of the model. The role of animals and livestock in farming is something we cover frequently, but we've never discussed insects which can transform immense amounts of agricultural waste—such as leftovers from beer brewing or wheat milling—into high-quality protein and fats. Perhaps most importantly, their frass (manure) is an amazing fertilizer. Of course, humans could consume insect protein directly, but in the Global North, this is rare and may take a long time to change. Insect protein is also an excellent poultry feed, but its greatest impact may be in aquaculture—specifically, fish feed. The immense destruction caused by industrial bottom-trawling fishing fleets is difficult to describe and comprehend. However, it's safe to say that catching anchovies or krill for fish meal—to feed salmon and other fish—is highly inefficient and environmentally harmful.With Sébastien we explore a decentralized approach to insect farming in France, one that focuses on putting farmers at the centre—not by reintegrating large ruminants into farms, but rather small mealworms. Why not go super-centralized with massive facilities and raise hundreds of millions of euros, as some other companies have done? Why hasn't more insect meal been sold to the aquaculture sector to help reduce pressure on the oceans?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/sebastien-crepieux.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

This mighty, ground-dwelling insect not only is famous for its solar power abilities, but its venom is also being researched as a powerful medicine.

There are quintillions of insects in our world. Some are harmful to humans, but most are not. In fact, most insects provide vital ecosystem “services”, such as pollination of food crops and decomposition of animal and other wastes. They provide food for other insects and for birds and even humans. They give us silk, wax, and other products and they have inspired us to come up with practical and important inventions. This is just some of what entomologist and author Barrett Klein details in his beautifully written and illustrated book, The Insect Epiphany.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. The King is already gone, but there's a castle full of ants desperate to find and protect him. Gon and Killua have a brief encounter with Netero and Zeno on their way to find Pitou. Killua especially is having some sort of crisis (crises?). Zeno almost has words of warning for the boys, but instead says "hey man don't look at me you figure it out". Meanwhile, Ikalgo immediately raises everyone's suspicion and Knuckle has to tap in for a thoroughly beaten Shoot. Oh yeah and there's a new entry in the "most paranoid guy" category: Welfin. He sees Bloster hear Ikalgo call Leol "Hagya" and has a sincerely impressive meltdown.

During this episode of the Indiana Agronomy podcast, hosts Carl Joern and Ben Jacob discuss wheat, the weather, and whether an extreme cold snap can kill tar spot. "I'm not under the impression that cold temperatures have any impact on tar spot. It's a fungus, and I'm not aware of any published research that shows that extreme cold kills off those spores," says Joern.  Spoiler alert: Insects are resilient, and they will overwinter. It takes temperatures of -40 degrees celsius to kill off many insects that affect crop health.  Further reading: What makes winter winter, "winter?" https://extension.sdstate.edu/what-makes-winter-wheat-winter-wheat

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. It's been almost 20 episodes since the Extermination Team took a train to East Gorteau to prep for an attack on the castle and almost 40 since Gon and Killua warped to Kite, by chance, officially starting their journey to the most dangerous place on earth. What seemed like a simple plan, to give cover for Netero to fight the King by separating the royal guards, is now a confusing mess. Netero showed up, Zeno Zoldyck in tow, in a hail of nen bombs, accidentally wounding Komugi. Because of this, the King chose to separate himself. Job done? Well, King or no, there's still a house full of ants to deal with. This week we cover episodes 110-112, titled Confusion x And x Expectation, Charge x And x Invade, and Monster x And x Monster.

(14:50) What I think I do have is when there is a problem, I have to solve it.Dog food is going green, thanks to Anne Carlson and her groundbreaking company, Jiminy's. By replacing traditional animal proteins with cricket protein, Anne has not only created a superfood for pets but also a solution to reduce the environmental impact of pet nutrition. “It's like flipping a switch,” Anne explained. “One day, you're feeding your dog something traditional and unsustainable. The next, you're using Jiminy's—less land, less water, and almost no greenhouse gases.”Cricket farming is remarkably efficient. Anne highlighted that an acre of land used for crickets can yield 65,000 pounds of protein annually, compared to just 265 pounds from chickens. Plus, crickets require significantly less water, a vital factor as global resources become scarcer.Not just eco-friendly, Jiminy's products are a boon for canine health. “Insect protein is packed with medium-chain fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides, and chitin,” Anne noted. “It helps dogs with allergies, gut health issues and even boosts immunity.”Jiminy's also recently completed a successful crowdfunding campaign on SMBX to raise working capital, a move Anne described as “an experiment.” Reflecting on the process, she noted the potential for even greater success with more effort on social media and outreach.Anne's journey began with a pivotal conversation with her daughter about climate change, sparking her mission to make a difference. Today, Jiminy's is not just feeding pets—it's paving the way for a more sustainable planet.How to Develop Relentless Problem Solving As a SuperpowerAnne's superpower is her unwavering drive to solve problems, fueled by curiosity and determination. “When there is a problem, I have to solve it,” she shared. Her passion for connecting the dots through research and science has driven her to create innovative solutions, from Jiminy's to personal projects.Anne tackled a personal challenge when she and her husband renovated a cabin in the Sierra foothills.

The bugs are back! Now back for its second season, Disney+'s A REAL BUG'S LIFE returns with more stories from the insect world. Using Disney's unique form of storytelling, the series manages to help us understand the insect world and see them more as mere 'creepy crawlys'. In this 1on1, we speak to series expert Dr. Tim Cockerill talks about the mind of an insect and respecting our ecosystems.

It is a Weird Wednesday episode, and we cover scientists that have developed technology to control cyborg insect swarms, a town that made getting sick illegal, toilet seats that can't handle toilet paper, and another town that is just going bananas over pealed bananas- we'll explain.

In one of our first episodes we spoke with Sarina Jepsen, the director of our Endangered Species team, about what it means for a species to be federally listed, specifically through the Endangered Species Act. However, species can also be listed through individual states, but not all states are the same, and some states don't have legislation to protect insects. It is an interesting story!Joining us to talk about the importance of a state's authority to protect insects are Kevin Burls and Rosemary Malfi. As Xerces' Director of Conservation Policy, Rosemary supports and advocates for policy solutions at the local, state, and federal levels that promote the health and conservation of invertebrate species. Presently, Rosemary is leading Xerces' campaign to pass legislation to define insects as wildlife in states where they are omitted from this definition under the law. Rosemary holds a Doctorate in environmental sciences with a background in native pollinator protection and pesticide policy reform.Kevin is one of Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologists. His work includes collaborating with land managers and scientists to understand the conservation needs of butterfly species, then advocating for their protection by crafting conservation guidelines and legislation with agencies and policy makers at the regional, state, and federal levels. Kevin holds a Doctorate in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology with a background in western butterflies and other native pollinators, and science education.Thank you for listening!

Renowned entomologist Barrett Klein examines this phenomenon of how humans and insects relate on a cultural level in THE INSECT EPIPHANY. Our world would look quite different if we did not have insects—not just because they are pollinators who play a crucial role in our environments, but because they inspire so many aspects of our culture. “The spellbinding diversity of insects is complemented by a diversity of humans and cultures,” Klein says, resulting in boundless inspiration and innovation. THE INSECT EPIPHANY explores the ways we use insects' bodies (for silk, pigments, food, medicine), how we try to recreate them (for flight technology, architecture, social structures), and how we mimic them (for fighting, yoga, music, fashion).He is the author of "The Insect Epiphany: How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture."https://www.amazon.com/Insect-Epiphany-Six-Legged-Allies-Culture/dp/1643261363http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
