With the rapid increase in human population, it is becoming harder and harder to produce enough protein to feed everyone. In this course, you will see the enormous potential of protein from edible insects. We will address questions such as: Who eats insects? Are insects really that disgusting to eat? Can insects be used to feed the animals we eat? Can you prepare an appetizing meal with insects? We will discover that insects are highly nutritious and are significantly more sustainable than vertebrate protein. We will use insects to understand basic biological questions about what organisms need to grow. You will use that knowledge to grow your own mealworms and collect data on their growth and survival. At the end of the course, you will prepare and eat a meal from the mealworms you grew!
