Could the future of animal feed be insects?
Two brothers have set up a prototype insect farm, to see if it's possible to produce insects for animal feed. Sybil Ruscoe meets their 'micro-herd' and asks if this is the future.
Sybil Ruscoe visits a farm in the Cotswolds where they are nurturing a 'micro-herd'! Brothers Paul and James Wright are breeding black soldier flies with the aim of using their larvae for animal feed. At the moment, the farm is just a prototype, but Sybil learns about the process of breeding flies and asks whether this could be the future of animal feed.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe. Produced by Heather Simons.
