In Honor of Gene DeFoliart, Insects as Food Advocate

11/13/2013

0 Comments

 
A nice piece about University of Wisconsin professor, Gene DeFoliart (1925-2013). 

DeFoliart started his insects-as-food work back in 1974 and has been the leading researcher on the topic ever since, taking his work beyond academia
in effort to promote a change in attitude in the Western World.

Furthermore, DeFoliart believed in open-access research and was publishing his latest book for free on his personal website.  Although he was unable to finish the project, his bibliographic account remains one of the most comprehensive sources on the use of insects as food by people across the world.

    Julie Lesnik received her PhD studying the role of termites in the diet of fossil hominins and has since started exploring insects as food more broadly.
