"BugBox – the inexhaustible food-source"

Currently there are 7 billion people on earth. In 2050 it will rise to an astonishing 9.1 billion. If we stick to our current lifestyle we will need three earths to guarantee food supply for everyone. Even now there is famine and many people seldom, or never, have nutrient-rich food as we know it. This is why nutritional requirements in some countries of Asia, Africa and South-America are met by eating insects – a strange idea for Europeans because of cultural disgust. Nevertheless, these habits and customs can deliberately be given up, as fast as they have been socially acquired. Caused by lack of pasture and the continuously rising prices for meat, we are in need of an alternative to conventional meat. In contrast to meat produced in conventional animal farming, insects contain more proteins, cause less emissions and need less food compared to livestock. Food becomes inexhaustible through the infinite cycle of life.
