Farming with insects, not against them
Conventional agriculture treats insects as the enemy and sprays blindly — degrading the soil and wiping out the pollinators and natural allies that crops depend on. Our work flips that logic: we monitor before we act, rebuild soil with insects instead of chemicals, and protect the beneficial species that make farming possible. Three fronts, one idea — agriculture and insect conservation are not opposites.
Pollinators in our territory
We’ve documented and verified 240+ insect records in the cloud forest of Chocamán — including the native bees, moths and butterflies that local crops depend on, and the threats closing in on them.
Regenerative agriculture
Black soldier flies turn kitchen waste into two resources at once: protein for farm animals and an amendment that rebuilds the soil. Insects that close the loop — from scraps, to feed, to living earth.
Conscious Pest Management
In Chocamán, chayote growers spray pesticides without monitoring. We’re building a science-based alternative: track what’s really there, act only when pests cross the damage threshold, and spare the beneficial insects.
