Locust Feed
Farmers in Pakistan’s Okara district are earning money by trapping some of this year’s hordes of invading locusts so the insects can be turned into high-protein chicken feed in local mills.
The scheme works because locusts cluster on vegetation and on the ground from dusk until dawn. This is when the farmers have been able to haul in about 7 tons of them nightly, earning each farmer up to $125 per night. But the practice is only allowed in areas that have not been sprayed with pesticides to control the swarms.
