Simon and Jeffrey will talk about insects and how they might become a useful source of protein for some countries. Of the 8 billion people on earth, almost 2 billion of them have some form of insects in their diet. Indeed, they eat almost 2000 types of insects. Insects are filled with protein, micronutrients and energy.

They will also discuss how some of these insects are a delight and have all these elements of energy and proteins. They will also talk about the history of insect eating in some nations, and contrasting those with nations that did not have the same history of insect eating.
