Grub Kitchen: Everything you need to know to join the small-protein revolution

by Trisha Telep

With our planet undergoing huge change as a result of a rapidly-growing population, the demand for food is reaching unprecedented levels - but our reliance on livestock protein is unsustainable. This book will be the guide that makes insects as food a perfectly sensible, rational and tasty idea for the green consumer, and will outline and illustrate the steps they need to take in order to start to eat like they care.

According to the World Wildlife Federation, by the year 2050, the Earth will be home to nine billion people and the demand for food will have doubled. In 2013, a report from the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation claimed that our reliance on livestock protein, with its massive resource demands, pollution and greenhouse gas production, is killing the planet. At least two billion people worldwide eat insects. Highly nutritious, insects generate ten to 100 times fewer greenhouse gases than pigs when farmed, need less land, less water, and yield much more protein from much less feed.
