  • Insects for Human Consumption
    Chapter 18 Insects for Human Consumption Marianne Shockley1 and Aaron T. Dossey2 1Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA, 2All Things Bugs, Gainesville, FL, USA 18.1. INTRODUCTION The utilization of insects as a sustainable and secure source of animal-based food for the human diet has continued to increase in popularity in recent years (Ash et al., 2010; Crabbe, 2012; Dossey, 2013; Dzamba, 2010; FAO, 2008; Gahukar, 2011; Katayama et al., 2008; Nonaka, 2009; Premalatha et al., 2011; Ramos- Elorduy, 2009; Smith, 2012; Srivastava et al., 2009; van Huis, 2013; van Huis et al., 2013; Vantomme et al., 2012; Vogel, 2010; Yen, 2009a, b). Throughout the world, a large portion of the human population consumes insects as a regular part of their diet (Fig. 18.1). Thousands of edible species have been identified (Bukkens, 1997; Bukkens and Paoletti, 2005; DeFoliart, 1999; Ramos-Elorduy, 2009). However, in regions of the world where Western cultures dominate, such as North America and Europe, and in developing countries heavily influenced by Western culture, mass media have negatively influenced the public’s percep- tion of insects by creating or reinforcing fears and phobias (Kellert, 1993; Looy and Wood, 2006). Nonetheless, the potentially substantial benefits of farming and utilizing insects as a primary dietary component, particularly to supplement or replace foods and food ingredients made from vertebrate livestock, are gain- ing increased attention even in Europe and the United States. Thus, we present this chapter to

Foxtail Akkamahadevi Women’s millet, barnyard millet, soyabean, flaxseeds, groundnut, bengal gram dhal, green chillies, mustard seeds University, Vijayapura, and cumin seeds were used to prepare the multi-millet mix. Proximate analysis was done and the Karnataka, India glycemic index of this multi-millet mix was estimated. The glycemic index of the multi-millet mix was 64.5% which falls in the medium glycemic index category. Then the therapeutic product was developed Renuka Meti from the multi-millet mix. Department of Food Processing and Nutrition, Karnataka State Keywords: Milltets, Multi-millet mix, glycemic index and therapeutic food product Akkamahadevi Women’s University, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India Introduction In some parts of India, Africa, China millet is the staple food. Millets are cultivated in some regions of North Africa and Central Asia since prehistoric period. India is the world’s leading producer of millet followed by Nigeria for the year 2000 and 2009. Millets like Sorghum (jola), Peral millet (sajje), Finger millet (ragi), Foxtail millet (navane), Kodo millet, Proso millet, Barnyard millet (oodalu) and little millet (saave) are commonly grown in India.

  • Nourish the Future
    NOURISH THE FUTURE A PROPOSAL FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION JUNE 2021 ENDORSEMENTS HENRIETTA FORE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNICEF “Over the past two decades, the world has reduced the proportion of children suffering from undernutrition by one third, and the number of undernourished children by an astonishing 55 million. This proves that progress is possible. However, a toxic combination of rising poverty, conflict, climate change and COVID-19 are risking a backwards slide. Solutions to prevent, detect and treat child malnutrition are proven and well known. Nourish the Future provides a visionary and actionable roadmap to take these solutions to scale, get back on track, and end malnutrition for good.” MICHELE NUNN CEO, CARE “For decades, the U.S. has been an indispensable leader in the fight against global hunger and malnutrition. When America sets bold goals for global development, progress happens. With increasing climate change, growing humanitarian crises, and entrenched gender inequities, we have no time to waste in combating malnutrition in all corners of the world. Nourish the Future offers a smart, multisectoral approach that puts nutrition at the center of modern development efforts.” ZIPPY DUVALL PRESIDENT, AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION “American farmers and ranchers have a long and proud history of helping to feed the world. We believe that everyone should have access to affordable, wholesome farm products, and that meat, dairy, produce and grains are all essential in fighting food insecurity and malnutrition both at home and abroad. Now is the time for increased U.S. leadership in the fight against hunger, and Nourish the Future provides a practical and comprehensive approach to getting us back on track.” DAN GLICKMAN FORMER US SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE “Nourish the Future reflects a modern approach to harnessing the power of the American government, NGOs, farmers, and producers to fight global hunger and malnutrition.

The Cardiometabolic Food Plan is designed for the following individuals: n Those with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) n Those with risk factors for dysfunctional metabolic conditions such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes (T2D), or both n Those with CVD (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and elevated blood fats) n Those with metabolic syndrome (e.g., high blood sugar, increased belly fat) n Those with T2D Fortunately, diet and lifestyle interventions are effective in preventing and treating all of these conditions. This Comprehensive Guide explains what makes this food plan unique for the individual. It also provides answers to common questions people may have as they start to follow the plan. Some people may question why the same food plan is suggested to treat both cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. While they may seem to be different types of conditions, cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunctions share similar causes, including inflammation, insulin resistance, and stress. This food plan is called “cardiometabolic” because it addresses both disease states. It allows people to use food medicinally to treat the common underlying causes.
