Hult Prize Competition

Over 10,000 business school students from around the world competed in this year’s Hult Challenge to help solve the problem of food insecurity among the urban poor. The winning team will get a million dollars to implement its plans.

The Hult Prize challenges students to create a workable business solution to a global problem and win a million dollars to make it happen. Living on Earth’s Helen Palmer reports on one of the regional finals, won by a Canadian team with a plan to grow, process, and sell edible insects to empower low income urban communities.
