Within the Flying Food project, cricket rearing is set up in Kenya and Uganda. For successful rearing, conditions have to be just right. Temperature, housing, feed, egg laying and many other parameters have to be optimized for local conditions. To investigate the rearing parameters under local conditions and speed up the rearing process, Uganda Martyrs University has become an associate partner of the Flying Food project. We are very happy with their support and hope for a fruitful collaboration.
