We need some biological control here; I suggest a bunch of doomsday cultist that say we’re all going to end up eating bugs be released to take care of the problem.....

Don’t these people know that solar panels will save them?

Africa has seen plagues of all sorts over the past decades, plagues of corruption, nepotism, military coups, diseases, all the while billions of dollars have poured into the coffers of African despots, nothing has changed...... all out of caring .

If africa is not eating them why should europe and usa?

I’m sure they are not starving they have plenty of locust to eat.

We need more windmills

If only the world put as much effort & $ into supporting efforts to mitigate problems like this vs the fake climate change crisis. EcoSenseNow ClimateDepot

While destroying crops is a tremendous loss of a food source, locusts themselves are edible and can be prepared in a variety of ways. In some regions they are considered a delicacy.

The locusts must culled before they mature and breed again..otherwise there's hope in hell for long while..even though crops are not mature enough,they also must be harvested..or risk the seeds of the future!

That locust looks like a tiny person o.o

Caused by lack of planning and environmental groups push to eliminate effective pesticides.

WSJ is no different than unwanted locust murraymatt should be ashamed of himself for selling negative opinion about India such media outlets are worst enemy of humanity

Pestilence, flood, famine... Using modern tech. the khazars who have been working to destroy the 3 religions of Abraham and humanity have almost won.. 2030 by the latest they have said and hell is now being unleashed so as to achieve that..

..... you do know that we have large surpluses of food that we can share with them, right?
