Show Notes

This week, we’re sharing a conversation from a few months ago when we attended (and had a live podcast station) the [Global Forum on Innovations for Marginal Envionrments](http://gfime.org) held by ICBA in Dubai; the opening address by Her Excellency Mariam Bint Mohammed Almheiri, the Minister of State for Food Security in the UAE. Our guest is Patrick Crowley who founded Chapul 8 years ago when he came across a water-efficient source of protein ... crickets. Since then the company has been producing energy bars & powders based on insect protein and envision a world in which insects can provide an efficient and alternate source of food worldwide.
