The Bug Picture
Regenerative agriculture
The Bug Picture harnesses the power of insects to convert organic waste to a sustainable alternative protein and bio fertilizer that is locally produced and competitively priced in the market.
About Us
We are a regenerative agriculture company, that is revolutionizing the way people view insect based protein to create a locally produced, competitively priced protein source that is environmentally sustainable to farm. We are Africans, passionate about Africa and bringing an African approach to a global problem.
By 2050 the population of East Africa will double. In this same period, the demand for meat will more than double in line with increased socioeconomic factors. We want to be part of the solution of food and feed for the future, using fewer natural resources without destroying our planet in the process.
With a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, we have all come together around the idea that regenerative agriculture can help to solve a number of the challenges being faced around the continent. We believe that nutrition, education and jobs, in harmony with the environment, are three key pillars to uplifting our people to new levels of self sufficiency and prosperity.
Our Solution
Insects are our solution, and a solution that needs to be shared. The demand for high quality, affordable agricultural inputs far outstrips the supply, and we do not believe that chemicals or crop intensification will solve that underlying challenge. We imagine networks of insect production facilities, from large scale high volume producers, supplying the animal feed industries and large footprint farms, to small scale households, feeding themselves from their garden, and selling their surplus to local farmers.
Our enterprise aims to improve livelihoods by changing attitudes towards waste and improving the quality of inputs for farmers across the region. We believe that through the power of insects, we can increase sustainability in agricultural supply chains, create local jobs and improve the nutritional self-sufficiency of our people in the region.
