"The only barriers are systemic" with Natalie Duncan of Bug Mars

Today I’m thrilled to welcome Natalie Duncan, Co-Founder and CEO of Bug Mars. a smart, scalable and automated insect farming startup that uses computer vision and machine learning to increase yield and profitability of insect farms for food, feed, and organic waste reduction.

Bug Mars is unique not just because they’re building AI software for alternative protein (that is, bugs), but because their mission is to find ways to feed humans and livestock better, and more sustainably. 

It’s an incredible mission that encompasses a lot of really big stuff, impacting future generations, food security, and of course our climate.

I’m thrilled to chat with Natalie about the unique innovation she’s driving at Bug Mars, her experience in the startup world, and her plans for the future!
