"African regenerative agriculture company The Bug Picture is helping communities in Kenya turn the problem on its head. Specialising in insect-based protein that is environmentally sustainable to farm, it has come up with a way of turning desert locusts into animal feed and fertiliser.  Affected communities are encouraged to harvest live locusts and receive immediate payment through a mobile platform."

 

Also, humans can eat some types of locusts directly.
