Many on this list are interested in exploring ways to reduce the impact associated with producing food. One approach that is increasingly recognized as valuable throughout the world-- particularly by the United Nations<http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3253e/i3253e00.htm>--is turning to insects as a nutritious and sustainable source of animal protein. In the most recent episode of my podcast A Worldview Apart<http://ericgarza.info/podcast/>, I talk with Wendy Lu McGill, a sociologist by training who worked in International Development for years before returning to the US to start Colorado's first micro ranch. She's founder and CEO of Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch<http://rmmr.co> where she raises crickets, mealworms, and waxworms for human consumption. As someone who's long had an interest in entomophagy (technical term for eating insects), this was a fun interview to record!
