The Food of the Future : Insects or Cultured Meat ?

Faced with population growth and the climate emergency, the way we feed ourselves must evolve. Insects and cultivated meat are two bold avenues for providing sustainable protein. This mini book offers a rigorous investigation into the strengths and weaknesses of these foods of the future. You will discover why crickets, mealworms and soldier flies are attracting increasing interest from the food industry, how cell culture makes it possible to produce chicken or lamb without slaughtering animals and what cultural and political reservations are slowing their adoption.

The book analyses the environmental impact, nutritional value and regulatory issues of these technologies, drawing on the latest studies (2024-2025). It puts innovation strategies into perspective against bans in Florida or Italy and the differences in perception between generations. Finally, it sketches scenarios in which insects, cultured meats and plant proteins coexist to reduce our reliance on intensive livestock farming.
