Entomophagy, or the consumption of insects, offers a sustainable solution to environmental and food security challenges. Insects provide high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and essential micronutrients, while requiring fewer resources and emitting less greenhouse gas than traditional livestock. However, cultural barriers, such as entomophobia, prevent their widespread acceptance in Western societies. Overcoming these obstacles requires educational programs, marketing strategies focused on nutritional benefits, and social engagement to reshape public perception and encourage a more sustainable diet.

Abstract
Entomophagy, or the consumption of insects, offers a sustainable solution to environmental and food security challenges. Insects provide high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and essential micronutrients, while requiring fewer resources and emitting less greenhouse gas than traditional livestock. However, cultural barriers, such as entomophobia, prevent their widespread acceptance in Western societies. Overcoming these obstacles requires educational programs, marketing strategies focused on nutritional benefits, and social engagement to reshape public perception and encourage a more sustainable diet.File in questo prodotto:
