Show Notes
In northern Limpopo, South Africa, heavy floods have devastated locust harvests, leaving families without income during peak season. Locusts, a protein-rich food source, are typically caught and sold for groceries and school fees. However, the floods have destroyed breeding grounds and collection spots, threatening future yields. Despite the challenges, locusts hold potential as feed for fish, poultry, or fertilizer, offering sustainable options. Yet, without insurance, these informal traders remain vulnerable to climate swings, forcing them to rely on risky harvests each year.
