6 legs and 2 antennae on a plate or on a skewer... What if insects could contribute to eradicating hunger in the world?

The planet will have to feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050. Will people have to count on insects for food? Bugs, ants, bees and wasps, grasshoppers and crickets, moths and butterflies are all highly nutritious.

Present in large quantities on the planet, insects should be more widely consumed, estimates the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Raw or dried, some insects contain as much protein as fresh meat and fish. In their larvae stage, their fat contains important minerals and vitamins.
