The new food: acceptance, barriers and future propensity

Insects, jellyfish, food innovation and biotechnology supporting food progress.

We asked the interviewees whether Insects, Jellyfish or Synthetic foods represent the best solution for the food of the future and for saving the environment. The topic is much debated by world public opinion, often in alarmist tones, and arouses great excitement in people.

There are different sensitivities worldwide, countries that by culture and tradition already use insects in their diet. Italy, the home of the Mediterranean diet, but in general the old continent, has a heritage that places its citizens quite far from this new way of eating… most tend to reject the idea and in some cases even to disregard the problem, passing the hot potato to posterity.
