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.
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
Insects as PROTEIN SOURCE IN POULTRY
Introduction
Insects as a alternative feed
Type of insects
Insect farming
Nutritional value of insets and functional properties
Feeding value in different sps of animals
Risk profile and major concerns
Cost economics and environmental foot print
Future research
Conclusions and recommendations
"Because insects possess physical and sensory characteristics that make them unattractive as food in Western culture, methods for extraction of protein for addition to other food have been tested, to increase their acceptance".
An engineered BSF processing facility can be designed and operated to achieve certain target objectives based on the natural life cycle of BSF. These, for instance, can be to cost effectively augment larvae quality or maximize the larval mass quantity produced within a certain time frame or
based on a particular feedstock, similar to a typical livestock rearing system (chicken, beef, etc.).
Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

income & nutrition
3. Development community has to address challenges
Key messages of this presentation
5. Context of the Presentation
• Increasing world population & increasing demand for animal-based protein
• FAO estimates: 70% increase of food production to feed 9 billion by 2050
• Animal feed production increasingly competing for natural resources with human
food, fuel production & urbanization
• Limits of conventional livestock production (e.g. land conversion), decrease
of people active in agriculture
• 70% of agricultural land used directly/indirectly for meat production
• Inter-linkages between agricultural/livestock production & climate change
• Prevailing food & nutrition insecurity (62% of world‘s undernourished live
in Asia)
6. Eating Insects – World wide
• Worldwide 2 billion people eat
insects- 1,900 edible insect
species
• 97% of children & adults in Laos
eat insects
Myth: Insects = Emergency food
Fact: People love eating insects!
10. Eating Insects – High Income Countries
People more reserved...
But...
• In Japan, insects part of traditional diets
• In Italy, Croatia & Germany: cheese with insects!
Moreover, ...
11. ... changes are happening
Increased attention by scientific &
development community
Insects & products: novel & exotic
food in Europe & the US
12.
13. Why promote eating of insects?
1. They are tasty! 2 billion people love to eat them!
2. Health
• Healthy & nutritious: rich in protein, fat & micronutrients
• 64.5 mill. ppl. undernourished in SEA
• Laos: 50% of children <5 yrs stunted
• Micronutrient deficiencies: 40% of children <5 yrs. anaemic & vitamin A deficient in Laos
3. Environment
• Climate friendly & land-independent production
• Efficient food conversion

15. Barriers to insect consumption
Limited availability of wild insects
• Most edible insects collected from nature
• Dependent on season
• High demand
• Environmental factors
Limited accessibility of wild insects
• Time: Women involved in household, childcare & other duties
• Insects are expensive
Utilization issues related to wild insects
• Chemical risks: pesticides, heavy metals & other toxines
• Parasitical risks: intestinal flukes in water insects & beetles (raw
consumption)
16. The solution...
1. A sustainable livelihoods activity, which
also takes climate change into account!
2. Improves food & nutrition security at the
household level & has the potential to go
beyond!
Insect Farming
17. Insect Farming: a sustainable livelihoods activity
1. Economically sustainable
• Low capital input
• Frequent income within short time
• Potential for value-added products
2. Socially sustainable
• Culturally accepted: insects already part of
traditional diets
• Inclusive: pro-poor, suitable for vulnerable groups,
urban & rural
18. 3. Environmentally sustainable
• Climate-friendly production
• No land conversion/degradation
• Preservation of wild insect populations
4. Climate change considerate
• Prevention: complementary protein supply
• Adaptation: less impacted by climate-related events
• Mitigation: shorter-term availability of nutrients as
compared to other agricultural activties (45 days)
Insect Farming: a sustainable livelihoods activity
19. Insect Farming for Food & Nutrition Security
1. Increased availability
• Sufficient amount of insects the whole year
• Enables production of insect-based products
2. Increased accessibility
• No need to buy; often gifted to relatives/friends;
sold at lower price in rural areas
• No need to collect (women)
• Insect-based products & fortified foods reach
wider range of consumers
• Income generation: more money available to
buy food
20. Insect Farming for Food & Nutrition Security
3. Improved Utilization
• Production in controlled environment = less
hazards
• Fosters home gardening = source of feed
• Promotion together with health/nutrition
education
21. Main Partner
• Faculty of Agriculture/National University of
Laos

30. Challenges to Insect Farming
& Products
Limited experiences
• ... with other insect species
• ... with production of insect-based products
Economic issues
• Commercial chicken feed expensive
• Acessing markets outside rural areas difficult
• Limited facilities to produce range of value-added products
Ethical conflicts
• Human food vs. animal feed production
• Supply for local consumers vs. export
31. Conclusions & Recommendations
Insect farming is a culturally appropriate means to improve food & nutrition
security
Insect products have big potential for additional income & nutritious food
32. 1. Pilot studies to adress knowledge gaps
• Suitable insect species & rearing techniques
• Low-cost alternative to commercial chicken feed (e.g. Moringa)
• Value-added products suitable for village production
2. Explore options for food fortification
3. Investment & Support
• Development of village production facilities (grants, investment, suitable public SME-
development programs)
• Marketing support
Conclusions & Recommendations
33. 4. Knowledge exchange
• Set up communities of practice & share best pratices/lessons learned
5. Promote benefits of insect farming for local communities
• Ensure that food/nutrition security for poorer people are kept in focus & not become
secondary to promoting export & feed production for livestock
Conclusions & Recommendations
