Insects are the newest category of passengers on the Ark of Taste! There are almost two thousand edible insect species on Earth, according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Two billion people (almost 1/3 of the world’s population) cook and eat hundreds of varieties on a regular basis, and raising these protein-packed insects requires many fewer resources than raising livestock. Is a food tradition from your culture involving insects at risk of disappearing? Please nominate it on the Ark of Taste website!
