As of 04:10 PM EDT on July 01, 2025, posts found on X have highlighted Bill Gates’ involvement in initiatives related to insects, focusing on both food production and mosquito control. Reports suggest that Gates, through the Gates Foundation, has funded a company called “All Things Bugs,” which develops insect-based food products, with a noted USDA investment of $3 million across three funding rounds since 2015. This project aims to promote cricket farming for human consumption, targeting distribution in multiple third-world countries. Separately, Gates has been linked to the world’s largest mosquito factory, breeding 30 million mosquitoes per week, infused with bacteria to reduce virus transmission, with releases occurring in 11 countries. Initial data from these programs indicate a potential reduction in diseases like dengue fever, though specific outcomes remain under review. The factory, operational since early 2023, has conducted over 50 release cycles, with each cycle involving approximately 1 million mosquitoes. No official statements from the Gates Foundation confirm these figures, and the projects’ long-term impacts are still being assessed by involved researchers.
