Insects for Food, Feed, Circular Bioeconomy & Livelihoods

Scientific innovation creates impact when it is translated into practice and shaped through collaboration. If you are interested in my research or exploring opportunities around insect-based food and feed systems, I would be pleased to connect. Please get in touch via email (see above) or through the platforms below.
