Insect cuisine is, for Westerners, emblematic of the alien, a threat to our psychological and cultural identity.

Europeans may be 'ready to buy and cook' insects, finds Belgian study

A team of scientists in Belgium investigated the socio-cultural and basic food formulation aspects related to edible insect consumption in a group of consumers - and found that eating insects was 'mainly well accepted' by participants in the study whatever their age or sex. Led by Rudy Caparros Megido from the University of Liège, the team developed a series of hedonic tests associated with a survey about the perception of consuming insects (entomophagy) and purchase intentions, to determine whether there really was potential for insects to replace or complement traditional protein sources.

"This study shows the edible insects' potential to become a usual food ingredient in Western European populations," said the team. Food Vision Event Study details.

Meat producers should replace cattle with insects, scientists say. Scientists in the Netherlands have discovered that insects produce significantly less greenhouse gas per kilogram of meat than cattle or pigs.

Meat producers should replace cattle with insects, scientists say

Their study, published in the online journal PLoS One, suggests that a move towards insect farming could result in a more sustainable - and affordable - form of meat production. The rearing of cattle and pigs for meat production results in an estimated 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. With worldwide consumption of beef and pork expected to double by 2020, alternatives are being investigated. Big News — Nordic Food Lab.

Big News — Nordic Food Lab

While other researchers are focussing on environmental and nutritional benefits of entomophagy, Nordic Food Lab is working to make insects delicious to the Western palate and thus bring them into its culinary culture. The project is funded by The Velux Foundation’s program for environment and sustainability. The Foundation has granted 3.6 million Danish Kroner for the project entitled ‘Discerning Taste: Deliciousness as an Argument for Entomophagy’. Nordic Food Lab has formed an international advisory board for the project, bringing together experts in entomology, gastronomy, psychology, and sustainable food systems from around the world.

Farm 432: Insect Breeding kitchen appliance by Katharina Unger. Graduate designer Katharina Unger has designed a table-top insect breeding farm that allows people to produce edible fly larvae in their homes (+ slideshow). "Farm 432 enables people to turn against the dysfunctional system of current meat production by growing their own protein source," said Unger. As part of the project, she bred and ate black soldier fly larvae in a prototype system, then designed a machine to replicate the process on a domestic scale. "I ordered larvae and built up my own fly colony to see if the process works," she told Dezeen. Grasshopper Recipes with Real Insects. Edible Insect lab recipes. Insect recipes - Search.
