researcher

Dustin Crummett is the co-author of a recent study published in the journal npj Sustainable Agriculture, which highlights the challenges of promoting insect consumption as a sustainable alternative to traditional meat. As the executive director of the Insect Institute, Crummett emphasizes the cultural barriers and public aversion to eating insects, particularly in Western countries, suggesting that efforts to encourage insect consumption are likely to fail without addressing these deep-seated attitudes.
