Ghana

Our target demographic is in Ghana, Africa. Located in Mid East Africa, Ghana is home to more than 28 million inhabits, most of which live in densely packed urban areas. The struggle to produce enough food for the growing population has sparked our interest to develop a sustainable and efficient method to create nutrient packed food with a minimal environmental impact. Our choice to make mealworm farms was carefully calculated and researched in depth to ensure it was the the best fit for this region.
