If you watched the video, you probably went, "Why would I want a locust farm?" Well, it's not for you. It's for the people that are starving over on the Horn of Africa. In the refugee camp of Dadaab in Kenya, 1,300 people are arriving daily seeking hope. Food is a source of hope, but severe drought, worse than crispy corn in Nebraska drought. Why worse? Because that is the only livelihood they have.

Turning an inventive mind toward the problem, Nicolas Pena Parra and Lea Bailly from France designed a locust farm. The little critter is packed with protein, adapts to poor conditions and leaves little trace on the environment. Inside the locust farm box, you'll find baby and adult locusts, structural supplies such as a water tank and soil, and a set of drawn instructions. After following the instructions, dabbing in water and sprinkling leaves, families of the largest refugee can have food — taking them one step away from malnutrition.

Personally, I have never eaten a locust or a bug on purpose for that matter. I have also never been malnourished. It's one of 50 entries in the James Dyson award contest, and the pair find out tomorrow if their buggy design makes it into the finalist round. For more information, you can visit their entry, and I also will update you on their status.
