Could eating insects be a potential solution to some of the world's food problems?


The project looks for new ways of consuming insects and debates the nutritive and environmental aspects of insects as human food. By combining entomophagy with emerging 3D food printing technologies, Insects au gratin encourages people to consider more sustainable ways of eating.
