Communication about crickets

Communication about crickets

The house cricket, Acheta Domestica, is not a common part of the diet around the Victoria lake in Kenya and Uganda. Nsenene (grasshoppers), white ants, termites and lake flies are regarded as delicacies, but crickets are not. However, crickets are delicious, nutritious, and on top of that easy to rear (as opposed to the insects mentioned above). To make eating them common practice, those advantages have to be communicated to farmers and consumers. Rens Schippersheijn from HAS university has been looking into the best ways of communicating this message to stakeholders, businesses and the government.
