Unconventional Science: Eating Bugs as Sustrainable Food

Cecilia Pinto McCarthy

Around the world, scientists are finding cool and unusual ways to make people’s lives better and help the environment. Some of these methods have been quietly used for centuries. Only recently have they earned much attention. Other methods use new technology in unexpected and even gross ways to clean things up and provide people with water and energy! Learn about the history of these fascinating methods, how they work and how they are making the world a better place. Many people enjoy eating meat. But livestock takes up a lot of land and resources. Bugs take less space, water and food. They are also more nutritious than meat. Eating Bugs as Sustainable Food looks at the science behind raising and eating bugs and why eating bugs might help feed more people around the world. Easy-to-read text, vivid images and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources and an index.
