ValueBugs is a citizen participatory research project, funded by INNOVIRIS (2018-2020). The objective of ValueBugs is to collectively develop a method for decentralized insect production in cities while enhancing the value of food waste on a small scale. In practical terms, peelings are consumed by insect larvae that have reached the end of their development and offer many promising outlets: feed for hens, farmed fish, pets... and much more! This new, totally innovative sector will be a new tool to be put in the hands of every citizen: we must therefore imagine it collectively.
