thank you for taking the time to view this short presentation. By 2030 the United Nations wants to end hunger. This was enshrined in the sustainable development Goals, which the UN adopted in 2015 in 2020 statistics released a list of the 30 most hungry countries in the world. Most well fed countries have a statistic score between five and 15, while the hungriest countries have scores between 35 49. 22 of the 30 countries in this list are in Africa, with three being in the alarming hunger stage 35 to 49 the other 19 in a serious hunger stage, 20 to 34. In short, Africa is home to the majority of Hungary, malnourished and starving people in the world. The countries that will be looking at our sub Saharan and the reasons they have trouble feeding themselves are not simply there's not enough good farmland or not enough food. There's millions of acres of farmland in Africa. No, it's far more complex than that. It's a mixture of rapid population growth, unfair trading structures, debt traps, government mismanagement, diseases and armed conflicts. Any one of these would cause issues to a country, but all of them together interacting with each other. It makes an almost impossible situation to operate in worldwide. Nearly every second death in Children under the age of five is due to malnutrition in its most basic form. The before mentioned elements force a disconnect between the growing of food and its distribution to the people that need it. Bug me has a way to help alleviate this disconnection, and it comes down to the simplest of answers. Help every family become a farm so they can raise their own protein at their own home and has the ability to pack it up and move it if they need to. Eating insects is a very old practise, and in Africa, different cultures have been eating them for thousands of years. Growing insects in a home farm is a new practise. A small home farm that fits into one room of the house will produce enough protein to feed a six person family with some leftover every week to either sell or give away. There are multiple versions of home farms now available, and a plethora of research has been done and documented to show that It's both cheap and sustainable in all countries around the world. The quick facts for an insect farms versus traditional farms are highly surprising. One kilogramme of protein from the insect farm versus one kilogramme of protein from a beef farm. The insect farm uses 2722 times less land. The insect farm uses 1800 times less water, and the insect farm grows one kilogramme of protein 12 times faster than a cow does, depending on the source of protein, the type of insect we choose, the farm will take between eight weeks and eight months to become fully self sustaining, feeding your family all the protein they need. Now, in the infographic below, we can see the flow of funds and work that needs to be completed. To bring this idea into a workable structure that will become self supporting. We've opted for a blended model, using a philanthropist or multiple philanthropists to provide funds to cover the initial setup and the first year operations, and then a crowdfunded, or charity donation model, to carry it on into self sustainability. In Stage one, you can see our philanthropic investor buys the land, builds the factory hires the staff, initiates the production of insect farm kits and begins the growing of the breeding stock. Stage one will take two months to complete stage two. The factories up and going and the staff are being trained while the insects are growing. Stage two will take around three months to eight months to complete. Now Stage three, the charity. This stage can actually be started at the same time as Stage two. We can use these possible eight months of Stage two to begin the advertising and roll out the donation plans for the charity. By the time Stage two ends, we would hope to have 1000 kits sponsored for the next year. This provides capital to begin making the whole system self sustaining. Each of the 1000 kits bring in $520 from the Western. Sponsors allow 10% to go back to the charity as a brokerage fee. This leaves $468 that $468 times 1000 kits equals $468,000 and this puts approximately 180,000 towards the cost of kits 108,000 towards the cost of staff and maintenance of the factory and 100 and 8000 towards paying back the investor. So in the end, once we've sponsored 4000 kids, the investor is repaid all their money and can choose to exit or reinvest into a new factory somewhere else in the world. So help us kick this hunger problem. Your investment will literally save lives and change the world as we know it. Thank you for your time.
