  • Summary

  • I’m Umberto Diecinove, I am a documentary photographer and a filmmaker. And – for a while now – I’ve been investigating the potential role of insects in the solution of some of the global challenges we’re currently facing.


    To do this, I’ve been traveling around the world, taking photographs and talking to world experts, visionary entrepreneurs, activists and people working in the field.


    Welcome to Get the Bug Podcast, where you can listen to the conversations I recorded during my journey.


    Farming insects could reduce the agriculture need for land and overfishing in the oceans, but also lower greenhouse emissions and help smallholder farmers, in developing economies, to depend less on expensive imported feed.


    So… what if insects are the next game changers?


    Join me for this insightful conversation on the potential of insects to make the world a better place, and the lessons we can learn from nature to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.

    #10 About Insects and the Future Of Food with Robert Nathan Allan (RNA).
    Sep 7 2023

    “We’re really quickly approaching a sort of tipping point where the broader agribusiness community, livestock community, and sustainable food community are recognizing insect agriculture as one of a variety of solutions. And it’s one that really elevates and increases the efficiency of other operations”, RNA (Robert Nathan Allan) executive director of the FUTURE of FOOD event series, cofounder and board member of NACIA, and founder of “Little Herds”.


    With RNA we talked especially about food, education, frame & reframe, derisk, sushi, gas stations, chapulines overharvesting and a lot of joy.
