Grubs Up: Would You Eat Insects to Save the Planet?

Adele Roberts hears about the environmental problems with the way we farm meat and how insects might solve these problems.

Packed with protein and easy to farm sustainably, eating insects is starting to become more popular in the UK, with supermarkets selling edible insects for the first time. But can Adele Roberts put her morals where her mouth is and eat bugs every day for a week? Along the way, Adele hears about the environmental problems with the way we farm meat and how insects might solve these problems. She meets a Thai street food chef who has helped develop insect products for the high street, and travels to Holland to meet the world's largest producer of buffalo worms for human consumption.
