In Cashmere, WA, a bitcoin mine will help boost productivity and decrease costs for sustainable farming. The massive power consumption in bitcoin mining produces significant heat. This heat will be directed to a neighboring startup mealworm farm, which need a warm, humid environment for healthy growth. This mealworm farm, Beta Hatch, will then provide worms for nearby agricultural use.
“The mealworms are dried and sold as a sustainable food source for poultry, fish and other livestock.”
