R2Kast 151 - David Tavernor on insects as a foodstuff, buying for supermarkets and his Nuffield

When I went for my Nuffield interview I was waiting to go in and spoke VERY briefly to a gentleman with a splendiferous moustache!I was instantly hooked in what he does, we arranged a podcast and pretty rapidly I realised, “Christ it’ll be awkward if one of us isn’t successful!”However, 7 weeks down the line, we both were! Our guest today is David Tavernor! David has worked in buying for various supermarkets and now owns his own insect farming business, Fly2Feed!He speaks about the potential of insects as a protein source for people directly and for livestock feed as well as a fertiliser.His Nuffield scholarship will explore insects as a livestock feed the world over and hopefully be able to implement it back home as well as with his own business! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
