How can UK farm businesses diversify into insect farming? What are the opportunities in terms of markets? And what scale of operation would work best?
Join us at 1pm on Monday 14th October to hear from Nick Rousseau from the UK Edible Insect Association, Emma Strong from Ento UP, Larry Kotch from Flybox® and Thomas Farrugia from Beta Bugs Limited.
The session will delve into everything from the species of insects that can be farmed, an idea of costs associated with setting up an insect farming operation and where to go for more information.
