Laikipia women turn to cricket farming to boost income and food security

In Laikipia County, a group of women are redefining what it means to farm sustainably, by turning to an unlikely insect: the cricket. They are rearing crickets not only as a source of income but also to strengthen food security in their community. The women are using the insects to create a circular farming system, linking crickets, chickens, and vegetables, all under one sustainable cycle.
