Insects as Food and Feed

Farms. Food. Future.

This month's episode focuses on the use of insects as food for humans and feed for livestock. Dr. Eric Smaling from Wageningen University provides a global perspective on increasing the impact of edible insects. Dr. Sevgan Subramanian at ICIPE talks about turning plagues of pests into protein. IFAD's Antonio Rota also joins us. Chef Joseph Yoon of Brooklyn Bugs and Shobhita Soor of Legendary Foods Africa talk about the culinary, cultural, nutrition and business side of things.

Back in the programme is Lara Gilmore who cofounded Food for Soul. Then we have the second in our series from the Global Donor Platform and news from Tajikistan in the second part of our Impact Assessment mini-series.
