Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries.
Edible Insects: Future Prospect for Food and Feed Security Reviews
-
Excellent treatment of the topic of entomophagy. Economics, farming, history, medical uses, insects as animal and human food, possible environmental and world hunger impacts and more, are covered without resorting to emotional data-skewing fairly common with other media.
-
An extremely comprehensive book on the potential for insects to fill many gaps in our systems (food, economics, decomposition, etc). I've yet to find something so detailed and reader friendly. Great read for folks entering the world of entomophagy
-
A nice and informative but a little bit short read about entomophagy and the cultures around it.
