How I Empower People to Co-create a Healthy Planet | Katharina Unger | TEDxCUHK

It all started when founder Katharina left her little home village on the border between Austria and Hungary to venture into the world as an industrial designer. She ended up in Hong Kong where she realized that most of the food there was imported and almost no one knew where it came from. That´s why she started to investigate the current food system and looked into alternatives. Her first project and design was called "Farm432“ and was a design for rearing the black soldier fly larvae (won Red Dot Design Award!) and Farm432 Beta, manufactured in a small trial run. After more prototyping and a Beta manufacturing trial for a research institute in Malaysia in 2015 she founded a new company, Livin Farms, dedicated only to growing edible insects. In 2015, the team joined the HAX accelerator program in Shenzhen (China), the world´s first and largest hardware accelerator program. Supported by HAX, the Kickstarter campaign followed and a tour around the world to demo the Hive™ to people all over the US, Europe and Asia.
