Insect industry knows it needs to overcome squeamish consumers before it can grow Fri 16 May Easily dismissed as a "hard sell" to squeamish consumers, Australia's insect industry wants to be the nation's next agricultural powerhouse. As it explores the use of insects in everything from human consumption to pet food and waste recycling, the industry admits there are some critical barriers still to overcome. It hopes to address those with a $2 million research program led by the University of Adelaide that will help develop food standards, market opportunities and public education. Still early days Professor Kerry Wilkinson from the university's School of Agriculture, Food and Wine said public perception and a lack of standards and regulation were some of the critical hurdles to the sector's growth within Australia. "It's an emerging industry … still relatively young but absolutely growing and increasing its footprint, and that's really being underpinned by the amazing potential for what insects can do," Professor Wilkinson said. "We can use them to manage food waste problems, but the insects themselves also represent a really high-value and nutritious protein source. "It might be a bit of a hard sell for us to convince people to eat insects now, but with some insects there is that potential." Exploring insect potential Professor Wilkinson's research began more than a decade ago, focusing on mealworms and crickets as food, but has expanded to a multitude of potential uses. "There's a whole range of applications and for me as a researcher it's really exciting to see the other things that insects can be used for — things like biofuels and pharmaceuticals," she said. "There's potential to use them in pet food, and we've found that most pet owners are actually more comfortable with the idea of feeding their dogs with insect-based pet food than plant-based pet food." Supported by AgriFutures Australia, Professor Wilkinson has assembled a research team across the nation to tackle the challenge of "social licence", but also barriers like biosecurity and food safety. In South Australia's Coonawarra, winery owner Luke Tocaciu has been offering a "Crickets and Cabernet" edible insect and wine tasting for the past year. He said many visitors to the cellar door had been open to trying edible insects for the first time. "We've had lots of different reactions. People are surprised they taste good," Mr Tocaciu said. The business was inspired to offer tastings due to edible insects' sustainability. "It doesn't take a lot of energy to produce these insects and they are quite high in protein," he said. more- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-16/edible-insect-industrys-squeamish-consumers/105282822?utm_medium=social&utm_content=sf277299204&utm_campaign=tw_abc_news&utm_source=t.co

Is this the new peasant food?

When you're handed bugs for dinner you'll eat 'em and like 'em!

Baron Von Fartface and the Monkey Boy love their processed food. The chemicals, the F A T, the high sodium content. Please you Commie bastard libs, don't take away their freedoms to die before their lifespans. Why they're victims enough as it is: white, male, middle-aged, blaming anyone and anything else for their miserable existence. Living on some form of government support.  Their entitled lives are rough enough for them

Idioten!  I don't eat any processed food... how is any bug not "processed food'' to be edible and palatable?  Survival training they teach you to eat bugs if there's nothing else, but it's very short term.

If you say so, Monkey Boy. Go back to your Doritos and CBD oil. You white, middle-age entitled males are a victims of everything.


Please, do complain some more. 

Bugs are popular in North Korea

aquascoot lives on trapdoor spiders, blue ring octopus and raw tiger snake then defecates nails. He has no dummy to spit or soft tissue in his alpha red-blooded six pack. Trump may guzzle the junk Maccas but aqua is something else.

Wow - as the Truth closes in on the Woke and Woke player pianos - those echo chambers who resound to the tolling of the Woke bells but without meaning - they become more and more vicious and delusional rather than seeking healing at the feet of The Great Ones...

What would you know you stoner?

Do you actually work.... or are you under the influence whilst you work?

Do you even know what a "lifespan" is?

You can't put a number on it because it isn't controlled.

Hard working young fit bloke I know, 48 yrs old dropped dead last week.

He liked a drink & a cigarette - but he wasn't a low flying zombie like you. 

The very reason Kolas are endangered is because they taste like chicken only better.
Eh, so I’m told

Yeah I doubt it.

There is a very good reason why some Australian animals are endangered and others not.

Kangaroos don’t taste like chicken

We all eat processed insects.
Wheat fields abound in insects as well as birds and foxes, lizards and snakes, rats and mice, some are caught by the mechanical harvester live [for a few moments] others when dead, decaying or dried up.All loaded into the trucks and off to the mill.
At the mill the grain is sorted from the rubbish , particularly stones, large bones and big pieces thereof, nuts and bolts that fall off machinery etc., but a relatively large portion of dead meat and insect remains goes through the mill and becomes flour or various grades.
Bottom line is that the bread you ear will almost certainly contain the remains of insects and animals.
Enjoy.
