Why Farm Bugs?

There's many bugs and many reasons! My STEM Farm kits were first designed for farming crickets though, so let's explore that!

Here's the thing - we all find crickets quite odd. Bugs are not a part of our normal diet. Yet, three quarters of the world currently eats bugs on a regular basis. Is America just Entophobic? Or should we look at bugs as our next main protein? After we crunched the numbers, we decided "Move aside beef, crickets outweigh you pound for pound." See the numbers yourself, and think twice next time before you turn down that insect snack:
