There are cheaper, innovative ways to tame locust menaceThe Horn of Africa is under siege from locusts. If there have been previous attacks, then it means we have been negligent in coming up with mechanisms to curb the threat the locusts pose. FAO and the government should draw inspiration from this and work even harder in dealing with these locusts. Instead of using expensive chemicals to kill the locusts, why don’t they look for means to trap them in masses? The government should sensitise people and let them know that the locusts disturbing them can as well be turned into something edible.
