New Food’s Joshua Minchin and Grace Galler speak to Dr Jessica Danaher, Senior Lecturer of Nutrition at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia about how insects could be the next big thing in the alternative protein industry.

Will attitudes in the Global North shift to make insects the food of the future? Or, even the sustainable benefits of eating insects in mind, will people have to think twice before adjusting their diets? Listen to hear our thoughts.
