Edible Insects: A Revolutionary protein to feed the world | Yesenia Gallardo | TEDxSalem

While crickets, grubs and insect eggs might not top your list of snack foods, they pop up in cuisine around the world, and they just might be the key to a greener planet.
Interpretation for TEDxSalem 2017 was provided by student interns through a collaboration between Western Oregon University, TEDxSalem, and the Deaf and interpreting communities of Oregon. The volunteer student interpreters were supported by volunteer, certified interpreters in order to minimize potential errors. Your support of these pre-professional interpreters’ growing skills is appreciated.
Yesenia Gallardo is an environmentalist and insect entrepreneur who seeks to further the dialogue about food and sustainability. She is a graduate of Yale University.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Land shrimp to solve world hunger 🙏👍

[@phillipbertrand8514]

recipes please

[@starriderstudios]

Going to stick to my plant based diet. BTW for carnivores, whole foods makes a killer General Tso's soy nuggets. Soy protien has better synthesis than casein.

[@AChill-hd4ff]

Land shrimp! And they can solve world hunger! If you’ve ever gone hungry do you understand the importance of this ethical necessity it is time sensitive. When can we get some righteous master chefs to create a solution to world hunger? That’s what I wanna know

[@aestheticspace2]

I am immensely interested in this topic of research but need deeper understanding in the biochemical area. Also I have tasted Philosamia ricini pupae(delicious)

[@jharnaschneider2835]

it was really funny because long long time ago,many small group peole they have know how delicious insects were, and now scientists were begining study about insects for food.

[@aestheticspace2]

Jharna Schneider Agreed. Traditional knowledge is still not completely explored

Hello

[@TeneBr0]

Wow so impressive, I've never thought about that! The world is saved UwU

[@jbizzybeats6564]

Got me thinking? Some secret to great health?

[@chrislapp9468]

Only if vomiting is considered as "cleansing"...

[@paulallen5025]

Give a hungry human a plate of bugs or a steak and see which he/she chooses.

[@l.shepard3216]

This, more of this! Not light years, just get it done and make it happen. Put it on the shelves and give away cookbooks. You can not make a thing happen if access is not offered. :-

[@macford3289]

Eh this is a bad idea the rich will still eat steaks

[@L1v1ngDeAdGirl]

Would this not somehow hurt the ecosystem or food chain in a way?

[@Lungsucker]

No

[@commieTerminator]

Even if it hurts, it's still way better than red meat production

[@zaza7170]

I hate the bugman
I hate the bugman

[@chrislapp9468]

[@jenngee2728]

NOPE 😂😂😂

[@arcaneTR]

i wish we try to de-populate ourselves and control out the births instead of thinking how to feed 9 billion.

[@thisisthewronghat2706]

your wish might just be coming through. agenda 21 is here

[@lilybell8574]

we were made to rule the earth, not to be ruled by it

[@E_Failedd]

well, then mother nature will come back and kill all of us by huge flash floods, puts us in our place

[@alleyway3215]

Sounds like you favor genocide. What do you think the push for puberty blockers is about?

[@KeemieKEZ]

Horrible

[@davidderidder2667]

Come on please. We do not want to eat insects .. tasteless.

[@aZurevagrant]

no taste buds on a burning planet
