British schoolchildren will be fed insects.

School canteens in the UK will begin serving dishes with crushed insects. The pilot project starts this week. It involves children aged 4-11 from four schools in Wales. They are expected to understand the benefits of alternative proteins. Researchers claim that insects are rich in proteins and vitamins. At the same time, their breeding farms are more environmentally friendly than poultry farms - they emit 75% less carbon. Worldwide, insects are eaten by approximately two billion people. They mainly live in regions with corresponding culinary traditions.
