They can be grown in large quantities in flexible, portable systems that are ideal for urban and rural areas, such as those on remote islands. Food could be grown locally and consistently by populations using a method known as polycentric food networks, eliminating dependence on global supply chains.

Read Time: Researchers at the University of Cambridge say our future global food supply cannot be safeguarded by traditional approaches to improving food production. They suggest state-of-the-art, controlled-environment systems, producing novel foods, should be integrated into the food system to reduce vulnerability to environmental changes, pests and diseases. Their report is published today in the journal Nature Food. The researchers say that global malnutrition could be eradicated by farmi...

Maggots and kelp must be on the menu to curb global malnutrition This competition is now closed Maggots and kelp must be on the menu to curb global malnutrition Advertisement In a study published in the journal Nature Food, scientists from the University of Cambridge said that farming foods such as algae, which include spirulina and sugar kelp, the larvae of insects such as the house fly, and mycoprotein, which is protein derived from fungi, could help eradicate global maln...

Do kelp and maggots offer a solution to global malnutrition? 8 Novel foods have to be a part of the solution if the world is to solve the problem of malnutrition – that’s according to researchers from the University of Cambridge. Though they dont look very appealing, maggots could be used as an ingredient in other foods Radical changes to the food system are needed to safeguard our food supply and combat malnutrition in the face of climate change, environmental degradation and epidemics, ...

Humankind will have to eat maggots and other bizarre superfoods to avoid malnutrition, according to a new report.  UK researchers say traditionally-eaten plant-source foods, like barley, maize, fruits and vegetables, and animal-source foods, like meat, fish and eggs, are innately exposed to various acute and chronic stresses. These include pests and disease, as well as environmental changes brought on by human-driven climate change.  The solution is to farm maggots (insect larvae) of the bla...
