L’entomofagia, ossia la pratica di consumare insetti commestibili, ha suscitato un grande interesse nell'occidente, grazie anche all'opinione favorevole dell'European Food Seafety Authority (EFSA) e della Food and Agricolture Organization (FAO). L'introduzione degli insetti come nuovo alimento sulla nostra tavola porterebbe ad una minore emissione annuale di gas serra derivanti dalla produzione di carne. Alcuni insetti hanno anche un alto contenuto in proteine, grassi e vitamine. Tra gli insetti commestibili, il più consumato è il Tenebrio molitor. Tuttavia, bisogna valutare anche i rischi chimici e microbiologici derivanti dal consumo degli insetti.
