31 minutes

In this episode, host Danny Gallagher, Business Gateway Highland Manager, is joined by Ross Lamond, Founder and Owner of Bug Bakes, which is the UK’s first dog food brand to use insects as a sustainable source of protein instead of livestock. Offering a product that is both good for your dog and the planet, Bug Bakes aims to tackle carbon emissions, with insect protein drastically reducing water usage and deforestation for agriculture.

Join us for an in-depth discussion that explores the story of Bug Bakes, the challenges Ross faced starting up a business as a young person and advice he would give, how the business adapted to challenges presented by the pandemic, what it’s like to have celebrity investors, his experience on Dragon’s Den, and why ethical sustainability is at the forefront of everything they do.
