Why eat insects?
Our planet faces huge challenges due a growing population and increasing competition for scarce resources. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the global population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. In order to feed the growing population, the world needs to increase its food production by 70%.
