Fostering Strategies to Expand the Consumption of Edible Insects: The Value of a Tripartite Coalition between Academia, Industry, and Government

Although many insect-based foods are nutritious and often an inexpensive option for human and domesticated animal consumption, there remains a negligible market for such foods in many countries.

The authors of this study constructed an 18-member multi-disciplinary panel to:

1) Delineate health benefits of insect-based foods
2) Explore means of optimizing insect husbandry and food processing
3) Examine cultural barriers to acceptance
4) Formulate workable approaches to marketing
5) Address relevant food regulations

You can read the complete study and its findings in Current Developments in Nutrition, #ASN's open-access journal.
