About This Event

Insects are an important (and delicious!) part of many food cultures. Join Keith Harris (Associate Professor in Food, Bioprocessing, & Nutrition Sciences) and Emilize Momplaisir (Chef and Master's student, Food, Bioprocessing, & Nutrition Sciences) in a conversation about insects as a sustainable and high-quality source of protein, including the farms, food products, and future opportunities in this growing area.

We’ll also have some insect-based foods available for tasting after the discussion!

This event will be streamed live on our YouTube channel.

This event is part of the Future of Food series and is co-sponsored by Wicked Problems, Wolfpack Solutions and the Department of Food, Bioprocessing, and Nutrition Sciences.
