13 Apr 2016 –- UK ‘Ento-preneurs’ and academics met at the 1st Annual Woven Network conference, earlier this week at the University of Nottingham to tackle the future of insect protein in human and animal consumption. The planet’s population is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, and current food production will need to almost double. In 2013 the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization stressed that a new approach to food production was crucial if we are to avoid future shortages. Their suggestion: edible insects.
