Yes! In many parts of the world, insects are a regular part of people's diets. Bugs are an efficient source of protein, and many cultures find them delicious. Some countries, like the US, don't have a strong culture of insect cuisine, but that's starting to change as people look for ways to feed a growing global population without using as many resources as we currently do. So insects might be an important part of our future diets as well. With all the talk about cicadas this summer, eating bugs has been making news for adults. So, in this bonus episode, But Why learns about cooking up insects with Joseph Yoon, edible insect ambassador at Brooklyn Bugs. Download transcript
This spring, countless cicadas will arrive en masse, in a way that we haven't seen in over 200 years, and that we won't see again until 2245. But beyond their buzzing mating call, did you know that they're perfectly edible? Joining host/producer Jim Hanke this week are University of Illinois Extension educator and Good Growing podcast host Ken Johnson (to discuss the science behind this historic horticultural event) and chef Joseph Yoon of Brooklyn Bugs, who educates listeners on how cicadas can be best collected, prepped, cooked and served.

Chef Joseph Yoon is an Edible Insect Ambassador, a world renowned thought leader in entomophagy, the practice of eating insects. He founded Brooklyn Bugs in 2017 to normalize edible insects through delicious, creative, and educational programming. From kitchens and classrooms to stages around the world, Chef Yoon shares the incredible potential of not only edible insects, but the burgeoning innovation in Insect Agriculture to create resilient solutions for our global food systems.Joseph Yoon: “One of the ways is not to take it from a theoretical dogmatic approach of... ‘We have a sustainable nutrient dense food. It will solve the climate crisis. All we have to do is eat some bugs, friends.' That would not work. And I think that that's what a lot of the scientists were actually doing. My approach was entirely from the opposite side. ‘We have this delicious, incredible food source that happens to also be sustainable, incredibly nutrient dense, and we can prepare any single dish you can possibly imagine with it.' The only limitations with insect protein lie with our imagination.”00:23 Intro to Joseph01:10 Bugs and sustainable nutrition02:13 Metamorphosis from fine dining to food justice04:42 Exploring the wide variety of flavors and functions of edible insects06:10 Shifting negative thoughts to acceptance and celebration08:10 Changing our food system is like interdisciplinary calculus 10:42 Regenerative circular nature of insect agriculture13:18 Following the data to find scalable solutions15:37 “Bugifying” familiar foods to connect with people19:28 Balancing marketing, education, and regulations23:06 Importance of regulatory frameworks, policies, and incentives24:57 Insect agriculture to improve livelihood26:16 Elevating the deliciousness of edible insects29:38 Takeaways for changemakers LinksBrooklyn BugsFAO Report: Edible Insects Future Prospects for Food and Feed SecurityInternational Fund for Agriculture Development Keep in TouchSubscribe, rate, review the show at foodlabtalk.comFollow Food Lab talk on YouTube and LinkedIn*The views expressed by the guests in this podcast don't necessarily represent the host's views, nor those of his employer.
On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we welcome Edible Insect Ambassador Joseph Yoon to the podcast for the first time. Founder of Brooklyn Bugs, Joseph is a world leader in entomophagy (eating insects) and insect agriculture. He attended COP27 as Chef Advocate for the United Nations' International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and has appeared in articles by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Guardian. He recently took to the screen in a Fox News Special — an experience we asked him about today. In our interview with Joseph, we dive into his journey to becoming one of the world's largest Chef Advocates for insects and how he became so passionate about edible insects. We also asked Joseph to explain the environmental benefits and cultural aspects of eating insects, before taking a closer look at the meat industry itself. We covered a lot of ground in this episode, and we learned so much. We hope you will too.
This month's episode focuses on the use of insects as food for humans and feed for livestock. Dr. Eric Smaling from Wageningen University provides a global perspective on increasing the impact of edible insects. Dr. Sevgan Subramanian at ICIPE talks about turning plagues of pests into protein. IFAD's Antonio Rota also joins us. Chef Joseph Yoon of Brooklyn Bugs and Shobhita Soor of Legendary Foods Africa talk about the culinary, cultural, nutrition and business side of things. Back in the programme is Lara Gilmore who cofounded Food for Soul. Then we have the second in our series from the Global Donor Platform and news from Tajikistan in the second part of our Impact Assessment mini-series. This is Farms. Food. Future. – a podcast that's Good for You, Good for the Planet and Good for Farmers brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

Joseph Yoon is a chef and ambassador for cooking with edible insects. Joseph has an incredible knowledge of insects, and he promotes their use as a nutritious, ethical, and sustainable food source. His message has been gaining massive exposure in the last two years, so I was grateful to have him join TVTV. * There was a bit of electronic feedback that began with just fifteen minutes left in the conversation. We cleaned up most of it, but thank you for bearing with a bit of background hum during that time.

Insects are cheap, packed full of nutrients, and farming them for food could help save the planet. Convincing more people to eat them, though, remains a big challenge. Tamasin Ford speaks to three insect entrepreneurs trying to persuade the squeamish, especially in Europe and North America, to overcome their fears of crickets, worms, and spiders, and instead see them as a tasty, sustainable, alternative source of protein. We also hear that it's not just the ‘yuck factor' holding this fledgling industry back - should governments, chefs, and climate campaigners be doing more to support it?

We might think of insects as pests, annoying little creatures that enter our homes uninvited, that buzz incessantly and bite us without cause. But insects make the world go round. They can be found in nearly every environment, and it's estimated that over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. The balance of the natural world depends on them. This week, we're putting insects front and center. We unpack the mysterious patterns of cicadas in the US, investigate the presence of radioactive isotopes in bees, meet a self-professed edible insect ambassador, and do some insect cooking of our own.

Do you want to learn about eating insects? On this week’s Chefs Without Restaurants Podcast we have Joseph Yoon. He’s the executive director of Brooklyn Bugs, as well as the chef/owner of Yummy Eats and Dinner Echo. Joseph views his participation in this global food movement as an extension of his commitment to his community, and volunteers his time and resources with both Brooklyn Bugs and Yummy Eats.Brooklyn Bugs is an advocate for edible insects, and their mission is to raise appreciation and awareness for them through delicious, educational, and creative programming. Their work has been featured on the Smithsonian Channel, New York Times, NPR, Food and Wine, and Gizmodo, as they strive to introduce edible insects as a sustainable source of protein that can be found in your pantry, eaten as a snack, and beautifully plated by chefs. Joseph first got into edible insects as a collaboration with artist Miru Kim. She’s someone he had really wanted to work with, and she was looking to serve insects for people to eat as part of her Phobia/Phagia project.Besides being a sustainable protein source, in the right hands, insects are also delicious. We discuss a few of the ways that Joseph likes to use them, and we talk about the parallels between eating insects and offal.
