I’m Umberto Diecinove, I am a documentary photographer and a filmmaker. And – for a while now – I’ve been investigating the potential role of insects in the solution of some of the global challenges we’re currently facing.

To do this, I’ve been traveling around the world, taking photographs and talking to world experts, visionary entrepreneurs, activists and people working in the field.

On GET THE BUG you will listen to the conversations I recorded during my journey.

Farming insects could reduce the agriculture need for land and overfishing in the oceans, but also lower greenhouse emissions and help smallholder farmers, in developing economies, to depend less on expensive imported feed.

So… what if insects are the next game changers?
