Locusts could reduce food production by 30 to 50 per cent, putting 19 million Africans at risk of severe food insecurity. We came up with a solution to turn locusts into food. The product traps locusts by releasing a chemical called 4VA, which attracts them to swarm. The airflow from the fan draws the captured locusts into the machine and quickly dries them out. The locusts are then ground into an edible insect protein powder to provide essential nutrients for people in food-poor parts of Africa.
