Entomics is transforming food waste into sustainable, renewable resources... using insects. Food waste – one of the biggest problems facing society today. Each year over 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted globally, that's about 1 trillion US dollars of lost value. If food waste were its own country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases after the US and China. In the UK alone, they waste enough food to fill nine Wembley Stadiums up to the brim. With an increasing population and modern lifestyles, the burden of food waste on society and the environment is set to increase in the future. Traditional composting solutions are difficult to commercialise at large scale, while modern technology like anaerobic digestion is capital intensive and reliant on government subsidies.
