This is so cool! I love it when things are functional and beautiful. I hope this can be used in the future to keep our communities cool and vibrant.

This is a good point. I hadn’t thought about it like that before. It would be great to see some more calorie-dense crops represented in these kinds of projects.

Good explanation, thanks! I’m definitely weary of the possibility that this sort of information could be twisted and misrepresented by climate change deniers in an “It’s not climate change, it’s just El Niño!” sort of way. I wonder if there’s any way to prevent that.

Thanks for the info! I’m definitely cautious of any claims of anything being a universal food source. There are certainly a lot of things my gut can’t tolerate, and I think a diversity of options is the best way to go when providing for people. I think there needs to be more focus on the quality of feed, water, and soil in general in food production.

Thanks for the informative comment!

That’s a good point! I have some training in identifying green algae microscopically (and some large Eastern US algae on a macroscopic scale) and I can definitely see how this would become an issue. Thanks for bringing this up!

This! I don’t know how I would feel about the texture experience of eating whole insects, but using them in stuff as a powder seems very doable.

Helpful article! I wasn’t aware of this issue. Thank you!

To add to the points made in the article, another important method of providing pollinators with habitat is to leave fall leaves down (if applicable to your area). https://www.xerces.org/blog/leave-the-leave
