Arnold van Huis

Van Huis researches edible insects and advocates human entomophagy,^[2][3] the consumption of insects by humans, and coordinates the research program Sustainable production of Insect Proteins for human consumption (SUPRO2). The program investigates the nutritive and environmental aspects of insect farming and consumption, e.g. of weaver ants.^[4]

In the 2010 French documentary Global Steak, he says that locusts can produce 1 kg protein from 2 kg fodder compared to a cow needing 10 kg fodder to produce the same amount of protein. Other benefits are that locusts do not produce greenhouse gases and do not need antibiotics.
