If you have ever heard about how the global animal meat trade and its production is forever putting insane pressure on resource usage and dangerous emissions, you will know that one of the solutions is the use of more insects as a source of our food. Full of protein and many other things that are good for you, this is one area that understandably hasn't got people jumping to make the change.

According to the UN, more than 1,900 species of insect are used for food.The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) began a programme in 2013 to encourage the breeding and consumption of insects.

 

Juhani Sibakov, head of innovation at Fazer, said the concept had been in development since last summer, but it could not be launched until approved by Finnish authorities.

 

Finland recently is looking to help in that regard, after lifting the ban on insects being used in food (gross fact: there is actually a minimum amount of insect remains permitted to be in a lot of our food because of the near impossibility to avoid trace amounts getting in) earlier this month and now a bakery in Finland is putting out a bread made from crushed crickets.
