C-fu PSCC Mini Summit April 13, 2015 20
Context
21
What about eating bugs? • 2 billion people already do • Feed conversion ratio: 1.7-2.2 (mealworms) • 100% of weight edible • Farming is low-tech • Minimal water req’d • Don’t require sunlight (can be farmed up!) • Aren’t picky eaters • Actually pretty tasty!
Potential as livestock: • Diversity: 1900 known edible species • Genetics: mealworms have ~60 day lifecycle • Custom nutrition: feed influences final nutritional content
22
Bugs are green, efficient, and nutritious Resources to Produce 1 kg Edible Weight
Feed Required to Produce 1 kg Edible Weight x2 x 1.7 x2 x9 Data: USGS (2000), FAO (2010), Nijdam, Rood & Westhoek (2012), AANS (2015)
23
C-fu: The Gastronomy of a New Taxonomy • About the same protein as an egg • ~3/4 as much omega-3 as shrimp • Mostly polyunsaturated fats • Low carb • Cooks like meat • Versatile
24
C-fu is a product development platform
Lacto-ovo-ento-vegetarianism?
25
C-fu is a generalizable and scalable process The C-fu process can be applied to any insect, with varying results Crickets
Waxworms
There are 1900 known edible insect species Mealworms have a subtle, earthy flavor Waxworms taste like scrambled eggs Waterbugs taste like bananas What new flavors will we discover?
