The push to get the world to eat insects and faux meats continue forth, and now the scientists and think tanks are now seeking to push Africans to eat more plant-based alternatives and foods made with bugs.
The Media Continues To Push The Need To Adopt Bugs For Our Diet
Some U.K. Schools Will Now Feed Students Locusts And Worms To Turn Kids Away From Eating Meat
Another example of this can be seen in a press release from The Malabo Montpellier Panel: “a group of international agriculture experts who guide policy choices that accelerate progress towards food security and improved nutrition in Africa. It provides high-quality research to equip decision makers to effectively implement policies and programs that benefit smallholder farmers,” they say. 54 African governments have adopted this Panel since 2014.
The following is what they wrote on May 24th, 2022, titled: “Insect Meat Loaf, Fertilizer Trees, and Mosquito-repelling Plants: Malabo Montpellier Panel Report Analyzes How Africa is Harnessing Nature toward Developing a Vibrant Bioeconomy:”
In the face of recent rising costs of food, fuel, and fertilizer, as well as the longer-term impacts of COVID-19 and climate change, Africa can leverage its rich and varied supply of natural resources together with its science and knowledge for sustainable solutions. This is the premise of Nature’s Solutions: Policy Innovations & Opportunities for Africa’s Bioeconomy, a report published by the Malabo Montpellier Panel, a group of 18 world-renowned African and international scientists providing high-quality research to equip decision-makers to effectively implement policies and programs that support food security and nutrition in Africa.
African food and agriculture systems are already in a transformation, which leverages biological and digital opportunities serving farmers, consumers, and nature. Given its vast resources and fast-growing science and innovation capacities, the African continent can be at the forefront of building its own sustainable bioeconomy. Worldwide, more than 50 countries have already adopted the approach.
Said Prof. Joachim von Braun, Malabo Montpellier Panel Co-Chair from Bonn University in Germany and member of the International Advisory Group on Global Bioeconomy.
This report draws on the experience of four African countries (Ghana, Namibia, South Africa, and Uganda) whose policy and institutional innovations have shifted the needle toward systemic change and transformation, propelling them to the forefront of the developing bioeconomy.
Sustainability and adaptation to a changing climate require a more judicious use of biological and ecological resources. This includes how these resources might be leveraged to generate innovative products that help mitigate climate change, conserve resources, and protect biodiversity while creating new and well-paying employment opportunities. With this report, the Malabo Montpellier Panel identifies gateway sectors through which to initiate the development of a viable bioeconomy for African countries.
Said Dr. Ousmane Badiane, Malabo Montpellier Panel Co-Chair and Executive Chairperson of AKADEMIYA2063
The continent’s youth population is expected to double to more than 830 million by 2050, and the bioeconomy can contribute stable employment opportunities to more of the 10 to 12 million youth entering the workforce every year.
The potential applications in Africa are vast, ranging from making use of agricultural by-products and waste all the way to processing indigenous plant and animal species into higher-value, new products.
For instance, a local fruit called monkey orange, which is widely available in southern Africa and is rich in vitamin C, zinc, and iron, can be processed to be more readily available year-round as part of nutritious diets. Elsewhere, lake flies found around the Lake Victoria region in East Africa are being turned into a range of edible foods like crackers, muffins, meat loaves, and sausages.
In terms of bioenergy, coffee husks and pulp are being turned into biogas, and fruit waste is being transformed into a bio-alkanol gel that burns without smoke or soot. This makes indoor cooking both more environmentally friendly and less harmful to health, especially for women who bear the bulk of this responsibility.
To fully capitalize on such bio-solutions, and taking into account the experience of four African countries at the forefront of developing bioeconomies, African leaders are encouraged to first identify sectors that provide the easiest wins for their development ambitions. From there, they can then strengthen links between their R&D sector and develop demand to attract private sector involvement. Policymakers can also introduce regulations to increase incentives for investing in the bioeconomy, for example, through certification schemes or improved intellectual property regimes, and even set up independent advisory boards to help guide the transition at scale.
South Africa, for instance, assessed that its bioeconomy contributed eight percent of its overall GDP and created as many as 16 million jobs between 2007 and 2020. Uganda is one of the few African countries that has drafted a dedicated national bioeconomy plan, while Namibia is working with the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization to develop its first national bioeconomy strategy. Meanwhile, the East African Community (EAC) will be the first Regional Economic Community (REC) to have a dedicated bioeconomy strategy.
The report was launched as part of the May 24 Malabo Montpellier Forum, which is Co-Chaired by His Excellency Hailemariam Dessalegn, Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Ethiopia, and Her Excellency Dr. Assia Bensalah Alaoui, Ambassador at Large to His Majesty King Mohamed VI of Morocco.

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.1 Timothy 4:1-5
I’ve said before that you are at liberty to eat whatever food group you want (Romans 14; Colossians 2:16), but do NOT force me to eat ze bugs or anything I believe is unclean.
Convincing the Africans radically change their diets, along with all this other climate garbage these think tanks want to push, will prove, I think, to be a taller order versus the Western nations for example; seeing as they did not bow down to the Covid rhetoric and vaccine genocide. Nevertheless, the Bible says that the masses (specifically born again believers) will conform to this, so it will be interesting to learn how much Africa gives in.
Moreover, the elites have long sought to exterminate the African people because the continent is very plentiful in natural resources, that would make the handlers and corporations TONS of money along with cheap labor. That’s the REAL agenda.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

thank God we are almost home! every day the headlines make me want to vomit! the way I see it is, if they want to eat bugs go for it, however, leave the rest of us alone!
The only bug I’ve eaten is snails. Buttered snails with garlic and melted cheese is actually a delicate French dish. Also quite popular in Quebec. I personally like it. But it’s literally bathing in butter and cheese. Without it it’s not appetizing at all. I am not attracted by the other crunchy ones though! Yuck!
Cows farting is bad for the atmosphere according to the brainy Billy gates and that’s another reason eating beef has to go. For us Peasants that is!… He and his fellow ugly demons can proceed eating the Very Best Top-USDA Beef!….. Billy is a big farmer now too!
hahaha, I would love to see billy-boy as a farmer, that would make a good comedy!
Matthew 3:4
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Leviticus 11:21-23
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22 even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
John ate locusts (Though he did it out of his own free will. Not like what these “experts” and the ruling class are slowly forcing upon people, through evil and deception). If there were absolutely no other option for food when the famine gets really bad, I would eat specific bugs mentioned in scripture.
Just to clarify, if there were no other choice, I would eat the insects mentioned in the King James bible that I myself would catch from nature, not the bug products these corporations manufacture.
