Farming Insects: For Livestock and Human Consumption
People around the world have been eating insects for thousands of years. They’re nutritious, plentiful, and can be raised sustainably with fewer resources than most animal protein. Join Escher Cattle from Cape Cod Cooperative Extension to learn about edible insects in culture and farming, and sample a better kind of bug bite!
NOTE: People with shellfish allergies should not eat insects, as it is possible for edible insects to trigger an allergic reaction.
