Zimbabwe to host international conference on innovation and sustainability: ‘Promoting insect-based livestock feeds’
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 “Promoting Insect-Based Livestock Feeds”.
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 Africa’s 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.
