#050 Edible Insects: A Sustainable Alternative

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization say that agricultural production on a global scale will have to increase by 70% in order to feed a global population that is expected to reach 9.1 billion people by the year 2050.  Yet agricultural production is one of the largest drivers for environmental destruction. 

Decreasing meat production and intake would reduce or eliminate the expansion of livestock operations in order to feed a growing population but we would need an alternative protein source.  

There is an overlooked and underrated sustainable alternative to  meat. If you want to know the whole story then listen to this episode on Edible Insects.

Always live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
