Time to integrate insects into your food products?

We need to find a way to feed ourselves as a global civilisation because current infrastructures are not designed to sustain supplies at the level required by 2050, while expanding the size of current systems will have a terrible impact on our ecosystem.

Insects are one of the most sustainable animal protein sources that are acceptable for human consumption, and they are just one of many options that scientists are looking at in order to feed future populations. A number of culinary labs and chefs have been experimenting with ways to employ insects, and food products containing insects are legal in many parts of the world. Lately, the food chain Lidl has debuted their "insect burger". This product will have been subjected to comprehensive quality testing and methods to ensure that it is not only safe to consume but also fulfils quality standards and customer expectations.
