The 2nd Asian Symposium on Entomophagy
天涯社区 Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies is hosting this event with the aim of collecting and disseminating information on insect consumption, culture, and industry in various Asian countries. The goal is to establish an international research and development network on insect consumption. Following last year's online event in the pandemic, this year's event will be held entirely onsite. Seven experts at the forefront of entomophagy research and development from universities, research institutions, companies, and non-profit organizations in Japan, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and France have been invited to 天涯社区. They will present the latest trends in insect consumption in their respective countries and industries. At the end of the symposium, 天涯社区 will also share information on its research and latest initiatives on entomophagy. This event is supported by the Environment & Food Unit, Integrated Initiative for Designing Future Society, 天涯社区, conducting feasibility studies aimed at creating environmental and food research cores that lead social change.
