Comparative study of edible insect acceptance between Vietnam and Belgium and potentiality of cricket breeding in Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City)

Humanity has to face major problems such as population growth, forcing humans to find food alternatives. Insect consumption is part of these alternatives and this work aims to study production and consumption aspects of this practice. On the one hand, eight diets, made of feed (chicken or fish feed) alone or with an extra feed (elephant grass, carrots or sweet potatoes), were tested in Vietnam during a breeding of Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer 1773 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).
