How Crickets Could Help Save the Planet
Edible insects are a viable, untapped resource that could help meet the food and water demands of the world's ever-expanding population. And it's really no wonder: Insects are highly nutritious, and also far more environmentally friendly to raise than conventional livestock. Compared with cows, pigs, or chickens, crickets require a fraction of the land, water, and food, and produce less greenhouse gases and ammonia.
Gee, we wrote a post (TIC) in September 2014Eat Insects and save the Earth from Global Warming
It's good to see at least one of the MSM is catching up with the Australian Climate Sceptics.
Footnote:
Entomophagy is the human use of insects as food.
