Bring along a picnic,
and hunt for mini monsters?
Why? When all you really need is a mini cutlery set...
Grub's up: can insects feed the world?
"...While the world has been fascinated by Mark Post and his team's €250,000 attempt to make a stem cell burger at Maastricht University, there are many experts who think insects are a more likely protein source for a hungry world. In a 2011 report [pdf] the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) quoted estimates that the production of 250g of lab-grown "beef" would cost in the region of $1m. It cited reports that said even if produced on an industrial scale, it would still cost "£3,500 per tonne, approximately twice the cost of conventional unsubsidised chicken meat production in the EU".
In contrast, Giroud and her partner Julien Foucher launched their company, Insagri, based in Coín, near Málaga, earlier this year with an investment of €24,000 (about £21,000). Initially, they intend to grind the larvae of black soldier flies into a high-protein dust and sell it as a replacement for fishmeal to fish farms on the Andalusian coast. In the long term, though, they're more interested in raising insects for human consumption. They already have a client in the Netherlands who, from September, will sell their dried crickets and grasshoppers as a snack. Potentially more significant as a rival for both meat and lab-meat is their "protein flour" - dehydrated, ground-up insects - which can be added to everything from cereal to energy bars..."
