Our Sustainability Commitment and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Introduction to our Philosophy

At Acrididea, located in Tunisia, we embrace a mission that goes beyond mere food production. We are deeply committed to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Our locust farming operation is designed not only to revolutionize the food industry but also to address global challenges outlined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Alignment with the SDGs

We focus our efforts on several key SDGs :

  • SDG 2: Zero Hunger : By introducing locusts as a sustainable and nutrient-rich food source, we aim to combat malnutrition and provide alternative food solutions in regions facing food insecurity.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production : Our locust farming methods minimize waste and use fewer resources such as water and agricultural land compared to traditional livestock farming, contributing to more responsible and sustainable production.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action : By reducing our reliance on conventional farming and adopting sustainable agricultural practices, we contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a significant step in combating climate change.
  • SDG 15: Life on Land : Our approach promotes biodiversity and utilizes farming methods that respect natural cycles, thereby contributing to ecosystem preservation.

Ustainable Practices on Our Farm

Our commitment is reflected in every aspect of our operation :

  • Renewable Energy : We utilize solar energy to power our facilities, thus reducing our carbon footprint.
  • Water Management : Water recovery and recycling systems are in place to ensure efficient use of every drop of water.
  • Locust Feed : Our locusts are fed with organic plant residues, turning waste into resources and reducing the need for new feed.

Our Vision for the Future

We don't just aim to meet current needs, we actively work to innovate for the future. We are committed to exploring new farming methods, developing sustainable food products, and expanding our positive impact far beyond our borders.
We invite our customers, partners, and the global community to join us on our journey towards a more sustainable future. Together, we can make a significant difference for our planet and future generations.
