Insects also convert plant matter into protein efficiently because of their cold-blooded nature. However, Van Huis admitted that people will have "to overcome the yuk factor".
"Most of the world already eats insects," he said. "It is only in the western world that we don't. Psychologically we have a problem with it. I don't know why, as we eat shrimps, which are very comparable."
Around 80% of national diets around the world involve some insect content, with over 1,000 species consumed.
