Founder and CEO of Buggy Bix, Shaun Eislers will discuss how a casual Sunday morning conversation with his wife at a café turned into a mission to reimagine how we nourish our pets.

With one of the highest rates of pet ownership globally, there is little doubt that Australia is a pet loving nation. But has our love become problematic? As pet ownership continues to rise so too does the strain on our environment. Can we broaden our pet's palates and look to alternative nutritional sources? It was these questions that sparked an idea that has taken Shaun on a journey into the world of pets and edible insects.
