Approximately 6,600 #silkworms are needed to produce just 1 kilogram of #silk, with each cocoon yielding about 1,000 yards of silk filament. So the arithmetic is: ∙91,000 metric tons of silk in 2022 = 91,000,000 kg ∙× 6,600 silkworms per kg ∙= approximately 600 billion is 600,000,000,000 — roughly 75 silkworms for every human being on Earth, every single year.

2/11 This is the story of how climate shaped #China, not conquest. By 5000 BCE, communities across what is now China had already: • Domesticated #pork, #silkworms, soybeans • Woven hemp into cloth (no need for animal hides) • Grown rice in the south, millet in the north.

🔖 Did you know insects like #silkworms can be used like a factory to drive next-gen molecular diagnostics & vaccines? Next in our "Innovation Insights" blog series, we write about @Lo@opworm1, a startup supported by CCAMP — medium.com/@c-camp/on-a-l…Rq Loopworm is currently using silkworms as a platform technology to drive multiple products, including sustainable food for animals and aquaculture. From their recombinant protein tech platform, using silkworms, the team has already developed TGF-beta, a growth factor, among other diagnostic and therapeutic proteins, in their lab Now they are all ready to commercialise such recombinant proteins at an affordable and quickly scalable rate, that can disrupt molecular diagnostics such as in ELISA kits, vaccine components, cell therapy supplements & more Read more to find how Loopworm harnesses this reliable bio-resource, much beyond a sustainability fad!
