ENTOMOPHAGY,
THE TOMORROW’S
FOOD ?
Jeanne Bleux & Louise Mazet
Introduction
Eating habits have changed much more in the last 50 years than in
previous centuries.
Today we are 7 billion people, we will reach 9 billion in 2050.
Given the announced shortage of resources, an innovation in food will
become essential.
“ One of the major
preoccupation about
food today is how
could we find enough
food for the all
population ? ”
But what is entomophagy ?
It’s human who eat insects
as food.

Greece
Middle Ages
Larvae and silk glasses are one
of the most popular dishes in

Since XVIIIe
Western Europe has become aseptic. Insects are
associated with the image of dirt and therefore, in

of disease. People gradually stop eating insects
