ca.2075
Many would not choose a soft mealworm as part of their lunch, nor do they like the imaginable crunch of a cockroach's body between their rows of teeth, but given our rapid loss of farmland, this might be an incorporated portion of our meals in our near future. Only 17% of US land is suitable for farming, and this land is slowly diminishing with the continuous development on agricultural soil. As large cities keep expanding, where will we grow our cattle? With food insecurity increasing, what new methods will we find as a society to sustain our way of life?

Around 80% of the world's population practices entomophagy, meaning most in the world already eat bugs as part of their day-to-day life. This practice is slowly spreading to the US, the use of bug farming is beneficial for more than just food, but it might become more of a necessity when other forms of protein begin to decrease. The following series of tools is a hypothesis of how our farmers might travel around the workspace in the year 2075. With research on current bug farms around the world, as well as how certain tools are developing, this series of objects demonstrates specific steps in the process of breeding, growing, organizing, and euthanizing cockroaches.
