Why arent we eating more insects?

Published: Sept. 19, 2024, 4 p.m.

We try some cricket tacos and ask what role insects might play in our future diets, in a special programme with a live audience at Green Man Festival in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Wales.

Our panellists: \nPeter Smithers, an entomologist and fellow of the Royal Entomological Society \nAaron Thomas, co-founder of Yum Bug, which makes meat out of crickets\nDr Emily Porter, a dietician and gut health specialist for the NHS and The Gut Health Clinic

What else should we explore \u2013 and where else should we visit? Send your suggestions to insidescience@bbc.co.uk
