Are edible insects the next sustainable source of proteins challenges in the ...foodresearch
Animal-based products, such as meat and milk, deliver primary nutritional components around the globe. To handle the rapidly growing population and to sustain global food production by keeping an account of the carbon emissions during this process is proving to be quite challenging. One of the potential alternative sources of proteins is edible insects with protein content ranged from 35% to 61%, lipids (13-33%) and contains significant amount of animal fiber in form of insoluble chitin. Insects are a part of the human diet in many cultures in different countries. However, entomophagy is not promoted widely even by many international organizations. The common popular insects fall into these categories, beetles, bees, caterpillars, ants, wasps, locusts, crickets, leafhoppers and grasshoppers, true bugs, termites, dragonflies and flies.
Are the insects eating could be the future?
As a consumer, we should be aware of entomophagy, and the insect rearing might become a necessity in the future. Some consumers in different countries are willing to pay a premium price as street foods are sold in hygienic conditions. Entomophagy is revalidated from time to time with the help of worldwide campaigns in countries suffering from acute food shortages. The global strategy is to maintain sustainable food security for everyone.
Food Research Lab can help you solve these problems related to the formulation of food products with edible insects. FRL is for food and nutraceutical manufacturers as well as those companies involved in NPD and developing spec without manufacturing. FRL gives you the ability to improve all phases and aspects of new product development, such as original specification, ideation, shelf-life, and packaging. Additionally, you can get them out to market quicker than ever before.

Entomophagy to address malnutrition & food insecurityDileepKC
Entomophagy to address malnutrition & food insecurity. Entomophagy literally means the consumption of insect by humans. It is a term derived from
the Greek word entomos (insect) and phagein (to eat), the practice is a well-established
although a diminishing custom of many parts of the world
Entomophagy is the practice of eating insects as food. Entomophagy is found in different taxonomic groups. There are many insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals that benefit from eating insects.
this power point about insect iam prepared with my group at collage and i explain for other student at class i get hight mark over other one report my teacher say that so nice and your subject had many information.

Small-scale farming of Edible Insects & Potential Contributions to Community ...Thomas Weigel
This presentation was held at AIDF's Asia Food Security Summit 2014 in Jakarta. It takes a look at edible insect farming from a food and nutrition security perspective and Veterinarians without Borders' (VWB) work on insects in Laos.
Farming of edible insects has big potential to ease the double burden of poverty and malnutrition. In many countries people love insects, and farmed insects are an excellent source of valuable protein, fats, and micro-nutrients. Insect farming is easy to learn, requires minimal time and money, and provides food for families. Insect farming has also significant advantages over the collection of wild insects in terms of improved availability, accessibility, and utilization of insects.
Environmentally sustainable, insects have a much better feed conversion and produce significantly less greenhouse gases than conventional livestock. Moreover, the sales of insects and insect products can provide additional income for poor people.
VWB has launched 2 cricket farming projects in Central Laos, involving a total of 36 households in two provinces, working mostly with women household members.
VWB's action-research approach involves the support of farmers to improve family diets, income, and also value-added foods such as cricket noodles. VWB is also studying the impact of cricket farming on child and maternal nutrition.
This presentation consists of different insects used for medicinal purpose in day-to-day life for curing diseases without any side effects. The craze of use of insects in medical treatments now-a-days increasing and also proved successful for curing many non curable disease and infections in human body. Many synthetic derivatives are also available in markets. This slide show contains insects and their products used for medical purpose.
Insect therapeutics in ethnoentomology by PremalathaPrema Latha
This presentation to be covered in the areas of Introduction about ethnoentomology, Modern scientific uses of insects in medicines, Most commonly involved insect orders in theraphy, Other than insects and insect-derived products, Diagnoses based on the presence of insects, Pharmacological Significance of Insect, Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), Case studies and Conclusion.
This presentation tells you about role and importance of birds in agriculture and harmful effect of birds for agricultural crops with some scientific evidences as well. this presentation also elaborates modern techniques to manage avian pests.

Bug Appe’tit!” Directions The following are two excerpts on eating.docxcurwenmichaela
“Bug Appe’tit!” Directions: The following are two excerpts on eating bugs for nutritionalpurposes. One is from The New York Times and the other from Time. First, readboth excerpts. Next, list the key points cited by the authors to support the ideaof eating bugs as part of a nutritious, wholesome, environmentally friendly diet. If more than one author mentions the same key point, list it only once. Next, write a paragraph summarizing the key points covered in both excerpts. Finally, giveyour opinion on the issue. Would you be willing to adapt your diet to include bugsif they were proven to be both nutritious and environmentally friendly? Florence Dunkel, an entomologist and editor of The Food InsectNewsletter, says: “For most Americans, fear of insects is a social aversion. lt’snot rational. People in other societies were introduced to bugs at an early age.it's just not the way we grew up." Which is true, but most of us associate insectswith disease. Mosquitoes cause encephalitis; deer ticks bring Lyme disease; andwe regard cockroaches as unclean. But how dirty are they? As it turns out, not very. While insects carry an abundance of microbial flora, they do not regularly harbor human pathogens like salmonella and E. coli. Put another way, insects don’t seem any more prone todisease than cows, pigs, chicken, or fish, all of which need to be raised and cooked properly. It can also be argued that these insects boost the nutritional content of what we already eat. Bugs compare favorably to traditional livestockin available protein and fatty acids; for some vitamins and minerals, they betterthem by a wide margin. David Gracer, who teaches at the Community College of Rhode Island, feels that consuming insects is both pleasing to the palate and good for the planet. He says: “lnsects can feed the world. Cows and pigs are the S.U.V.’s;bugs are bicycles.” Why douse fields with pesticides if the bugs we kill are morenutritious than the crops they eat? Provocative as that sounds, insects do meet the test of environmentalsustainability; they create far more edible protein per pound of feed than cattle. Moreover, scientists warn that given current consumption, a complete collapse ofglobal fish stocks is possible in the next 40 years. (The New York Times, Man Bites Insect by Sam Nejame, February 10, 2008.) In the U.S., we're more accustomed to exterminating insects than toeating them, but in scores of countries around the world--including Thailand, where food markets are stocked with commercially-raised water beetles andbamboo worms--bugs have long been a part of a well-balanced meal. insectlovers like David George Gordon, the author of The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook, arguethat entomophagy--the scientific term for consuming insects--could also be afargreener way to get protein than eating chicken, cows or pigs.

3. FUTURE of FOOD1
The world’s population is expected to increase to 9
billion by 2050.
FAO estimates that global food production will need to
expand by an estimated 60 percent from current levels.
1. Hanboonsong, et al., “Six-legged livestock,” 2013.
7. WHY EAT INSECTS?
1. Nutritional
Insects are a great source of nutritional elements such as proteins, iron, lipids,
etc.
2. Environmental
Raising and harvesting insects for human consumption has a very low
environmental impact.
3. Cultural
There are approximately 1,9001 species of insects consumed by 80% of the world’s
nations2.
1. UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO): http://www.fao.org/forestry/edibleinsects/en/.
2. Damian Carrington, The Guardian, August 1, 2010.
9. “Eating a few insects is like
taking a multivitamin”
Patrick B. Durst, senior FAO official
10. NUTRIENTS1
Insects offer a wide range of essential nutrients (e.g.,
iron, fiber); but mainly they can be a great source of
amino acids (proteins).
Insect protein is highly digestible (between 77% and
98%).
Many insects contain high-level protein quality that can
completely replace meat consumption.
1. Simone Belluco, et al., “Edible Insects in a Food Safety and Nutritional Perspective: A Critical Review,” 2013
11. Some of the most nutritious insects:
Beetle
Silkworm
Cricket
Grasshopper
Mealworm
Ant larvae (eggs)
14. Mini-Livestock Environmental
Impact
Growing and harvesting most species of insects
generates very low environmental impact.1
Low GHG (greenhouse gases) and ammonia emissions.
Crickets are twice as efficient to rear as chickens, 4 times
more efficient than pigs and 12 times more than cattle.
Low water use to grow insects.
1. Arnold van Huis, “Potential of Insects as Food and Feed in Assuring Food Security,” 2013.
16. Other uses of insects in
agriculture
Using insects as cattle feed.
Eating insects as a measurement for pest control.
Rearing insects reduces the danger of microbial,
parasitical and chemical (pesticide) hazards.
Rearing insects, as opposed to harvest them in the wild,
can help the conservation of the species.
1. Arnold van Huis, “Potential of Insects as Food and Feed in Assuring Food Security,” 2013.
17. THE THAI PHENOMENON
In Thailand, 53 of 76 provinces have cricket farms.1
As of 2012 there were about 20,000 cricket farmers in
Thailand.2
As opposed to other countries, in Thailand entomophagy
has grown and diversify exponentially.
Insect farming has become a multimillion-dollar industry
in Thailand.

2. Van Huis, et al., Edible Insects, 2013.
3. NY Daily News, August 25, 2014.
20. A CULTURAL PRACTISE1
Entomophagy is an ancient practice. Humans ate insects
before they ate meat.
In different cultures, insects have an spiritual and
symbolic significance; such as the sacred beetle in
Egypt, the bee in India, or the jumil (stink bug) in
Mexico.
Julieta Ramos-Elorduy, “Anthropo-entomophagy: Cultures, evolution and sustainability,” 2009.
24. Other benefits of eating
insects
Most insects do not possess nociceptors, which has led
us to think that they do not feel pain.
Insects expand our food range, thus providing a well-
balanced diet.
Crickets, locusts, and grasshoppers are a kosher option
(Lev. 11:21-22).
Depending of the school of thought, eating insects can
be halal.

Use this slide for introductory remarks on the topic, ask the participants if they have previous knowledge about entomophagy, talk about the image maybe...
Explain that there are thousands of animals that are, by nature, entomophagous (they include insects in their diets) and humans are amongst them. Explain, maybe, the difference between simply eating insects and actively using insects as a food source. Explain that humans ate insects before eating meat.
Preview of the three sections of this presentation.
Although insects are a good source of several nutrients, the main benefit remains their protein content. Emphasize that different proteins are more or less digestible (talk about maybe gluten, which is a protein contained in wheat).
