Description

We try some cricket tacos and ask what role insects might play in our future diets, in a special programme with a live audience at Green Man Festival in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Wales.

Our panellists:
Peter Smithers, an entomologist and fellow of the Royal Entomological Society
Aaron Thomas, co-founder of Yum Bug, which makes meat out of crickets
Dr Emily Porter, a dietician and gut health specialist for the NHS and The Gut Health Clinic
