Zimbabwe to host international conference on innovation and sustainability: āPromoting insect-based livestock feedsā
The Korean Partnership for Innovation of Agriculture (KOPIA) Zimbabwe Centre, an operation under the Rural Development Agency (RDA) of the Republic of Korea, in partnership with the Scientific and Industrial Research and Development Centre (SIRDC), under the Government of Zimbabwe will be hosting an International Conference on Innovation and Sustainability with the theme āPromoting Insect-Based Livestock Feedsā.
This conference is slated for the 16th of July 2026, at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC). This conference underscores a growing global movement: the use of insects as sustainable feed ingredients. While this highlights Africaās advances in climate smart agriculture, the implications of insect farming extend far beyond the continent, touching parts of the world grappling with rising feed costs, environmental pressures, and food security challenges.
