More about the book
Exploring the concept of entomophagy, the author challenges the notion that insects can solve global hunger and ecological crises. Through extensive research in Laos and Thailand, the book contrasts Southeast Asian and Western food cultures, critiquing the commodification of edible insects. It argues that the emerging industry often overlooks underlying issues like social inequality and systemic unsustainability, perpetuating the very problems it aims to address. This work contributes to a broader understanding of regional studies, emphasizing contextualized knowledge production.
