Turin, Italy | June 2026
Insects to Feed the World Conference
This June, I have been selected to attend the Insects to Feed the World Conference in Turin, Italy, where leaders in the insect farming field meet, share ideas, and build partnerships that shape the future of insect farming.
Being there means learning what works at scale, building new partnerships, and bringing back ideas that can grow this impact in Uganda and beyond.
