FAO tells africa to eat insects for food security

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (a branch of the United Nations) have declared they have a new way to end food insecurity..... by eating insects!

The FAO report says this has many health benefits to eating insects. Insects are high in protein, fat and mineral contents. They can be eaten whole or ground into a powder or paste, and incorporated into other foods.

Farming insects has a huge global potential for both animal feed and food production, according the the report.

Have your say!

So who is going to be the first here to start their grasshopper farm?!
