an adventure into the world of eating insects and the last great hope to save the planet
Martin, Daniella
Presents the argument that in order to ease the burden on the world's food supplies and maybe even to end world hunger, insects--the most populous creature on the planet--should become the main source of food for human beings.
Argues that the Earth's potential to produce food has reached the point where it can no longer keep up with population increases, and offers suggestions for achieving a humane balance between food and people.
