But what does scaling insect production look like, and will people actually eat them? In…

What if we had a more compassionate approach to farming animals, where we raised and ate fewer animals - and so meat cost more?

The same foods that some find so nutritious, that give us such a strong sense of who we are - are also believed by others to be at the center of so many existential concerns - global malnutrition, climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequali…
