Baking bread with insects

These four students want to change the way we think about food, and in the process, create a more sustainable model of food production.

Dominic, Florian, Astrid and Katharina import 鈥渃ricket powder鈥� from Canada, which is made of roasted crickets and is rich in protein.

The powdered crickets as a substitute for flour in the baking process. The team say that farming crickets, on a mass scale, leaves a much smaller carbon footprint than other forms of farming.

Crickets need less feed, less land and less water to survive than most other 鈥渓ivestock鈥�.
