The project aims to create and enhance employment opportunities for people in situation/at risk of exclusion, mainly with disabilities, around the breeding, reproduction and commercialization of insects for different uses as well as the exploration of sustainable and ecological uses.

The theme of the project is sustainable agriculture and livestock.

LABORA INSECT aims to generate positive impact on social inclusion and reduce the environmental wear that food generates: to enhance and facilitate the labor inclusion of unemployed people, at risk of exclusion and/or disadvantaged among other people with disabilities, providing education and training in an economic activity with growth potential, employment generation opportunities and with positive impact on the territory: insect farming. The project seeks to minimize the ecological wear that intensive livestock farming entails in the generation of food for humans and animals, and its negative impact on the environment (gas emissions, soil, subsoil and water pollution, visual impact, waste) through the introduction of species in human and animal food chains based on insects: crickets, cockroaches, earthworms, among others. Promoting a transition to a cleaner economy.

The development of the project contemplates 4 fundamental PHASES, integrated and interrelated with each other, with a duration of 11 months:

• PROJECT PREPARATION PHASE. Month 1 to 11. Configuration of work team. Systematization of the organization and management of the project. Technical and economic follow-up. Evaluation of results, indicators, impact. Communication and reporting of information to FB. Dissemination of results.
• Selection of the training entity, coordination of the creation of the original contents of the 3 types of training and supervision of the means for its delivery.
• EXECUTION PHASE. Month 2 to 11. Development and implementation of project actions. Selection of participants. Training. Complementary actions to approach the sector integrated in the training, visits to model or reference entities. Complementary actions to reinforce integration into the labor market integrated into training, accompaniment towards employment.
• MONITORING AND EVALUATION PHASE. Month 4 to 11. Technical monitoring of project execution. Drafting of final and partial development reports. Collection of indicators.
• CONSOLIDATION PHASE. Month 6 to 11. Detection, information and orientation towards employment. Contact with the business network. Execution of contracts. This phase can be extended, if necessary, for a maximum of 2 months after the end of the project, in order to achieve the recruitment objective.

The percentage of participation of women in the project will be 55%, while the percentage of participation of other priority groups (sum of the rest of the groups except women) will be 45%.

At least 9% of those targeted will obtain employment.
