Can you picture the future in a world without fossil fuels? Perhaps you think that living an “alternative” lifestyle has to mean painful and radical changes to the way you live now. This album looks at various small scale initiatives which show that living sustainably may not be as unpalatable as you might imagine. Bedzed, Findhorn, Hockerton, Samsoe Island; these are all decentralised communities at the forefront of a major social and technological experiment. In our world of finite resources and massive over-consumption, “breathing” walls, earth-shelters, composting toilets, “living machines” to deal with wastewater – are just some of the technologies which we may all have to get used to. These eco-communities are all breaking new ground by demonstrating how implementation of innovative solutions can create changes in social behaviour, so that people live in harmony with the Earth’s living systems, rather than against them. You might also wish to explore the other T307 albums “Energy and Sustainability” and “Design and Sustainability”. This material forms part of The Open University Course T307 Innovation: designing for a sustainable future.

I’m Umberto Diecinove, I am a documentary photographer and a filmmaker. And – for a while now – I’ve been investigating the potential role of insects in the solution of some of the global challenges we’re currently facing.

To do this, I’ve been traveling around the world, taking photographs and talking to world experts, visionary entrepreneurs, activists and people working in the field.

Welcome to Get the Bug Podcast, where you can listen to the conversations I recorded during my journey.

Farming insects could reduce the agriculture need for land and overfishing in the oceans, but also lower greenhouse emissions and help smallholder farmers, in developing economies, to depend less on expensive imported feed.

So… what if insects are the next game changers?

Join me for this insightful conversation on the potential of insects to make the world a better place, and the lessons we can learn from nature to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.
