Enhancing food and nutrition security through promotion of edible insects value chain in Eastern Africa

Within a larger multi-partner project context, this PhD student will mainly be responsible for optimizing the conditions for edible insect breeding and for designing strategies of upscaling this breeding. Since insect colonies are available in Leuven, most of the experimental work will be situated in Leuven. On a regular basis, communication with the researchers in the other partner labs, as well as site visits, will be envisaged.
