The amount of population in the world is increasing,
especially in low- and middle-income country. It is likely
to increase from 7.2 billion to 9.6 billion in 2050 (UNDESA).
This cause needed of food to soar up. Lowincome
country, for example country in Africa, has been
struggle with food crisis for a decades due to failed
harvests cause by the extreme weather. Millions of
people were affected by malnutrition and thousands
died from starvation (Harvest Help).
Not only in Africa, Asia also faces the food crisis.
India, China, Pakistan and other large countries are
under the circumstances that at least 1.5 billion
people who live on the continent by 2050 will double
Asia's demand for food (FAO). The fact that land for
cultivation is decreasing, and the continuation of
unpredictable climate and water supplies stretched to
the limit. One of the realistic options is to find a new
source for food that is barely depend on those
factors.
The consumption of edible insects can be a
solution for this crisis. Insects are full of protein and
rich in essential micronutrients, such as iron and zinc.
They don’t need as much space as livestock, emit
lower levels of greenhouse gases, and have an
extremely high feed conversion rate. Only 1 kilogram
of cricket has protein 12 times more than beef protein
(Anthes). All of these evidences clearly show that
edible insects consuming are the sustainable way to
feed people in the future.
