Bài viết mẫuWhile today’s growing world population demands more nutrition, insects could be seen as a source of food in order to meet food supply, but not all agree that this is an advantage to solve global food problems. This essay will consider the advantages and disadvantages of using insects as supplementary food.
First of all, it is recognized that food should be produced at low-cost and with little resources, as poorer countries have limited access to grow vegetables, fruits or breed animals. This is because of a lack of water or pasture land. For example, insects are common food in the Amazonas or Asian countries, where they are part of the traditional cuisine. Secondly, insects can be seen as important supplementary food, as they provide a high nutrition score with regard to proteins. Maggots are highly valued in third world countries.
Despite this, it is clear that this kind of food can’t solve the global food problem. One disadvantage is that not all cultures are used to that kind of food and some even consider it as health threatening. In my culture, these are not considered as well-tasting and I would not eat it, as I regard this rather as disgusting. When I was on a trip to New Zealand, we stopped in Seoul. In one of the side streets, you could buy traditional food like insects, but I didn’t try it. Furthermore, it is not predictable in what ways this kind of “animal agriculture” would affect the environment. It could disturb the balance in nature, as the decrease of insects has an impact on the food chain. For instance, the number of birds has decreased due to less insects.
In conclusion, insects could help us to feed citizens with little money and effort, as they already exist. However, for some culture this kind of food is not accepted because it is not part of their culture and further research had to be done in what ways this supply would change the natural balance of ecosystems.
