In the quirky little college town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, home to many unconventional ideas over the years, there’s now a small insect factory.
It’s an unassuming operation, a generic boxy building in a small industrial park. It took me a while even to find a sign with the company’s name: EnviroFlight. But its goal is grand: The people at EnviroFlight are hoping that their flies will help our planet grow more food while conserving land and water.
They don’t expect you to eat insects. (Sure, Asians and Africans do it, but Americans are finicky.) The idea is, farmed insects will become food for fish or pigs.
