Feelingsoftenrun high where insects are concerned,with many people even sick when seeing them, let alone touch or swallow them.And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing globalpopulation seeks more sources of food and feed.
Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmentalfootprints than traditional alternatives,and they can be raised on leftovers.But cultural,social and economicproblems remain,reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.
“Insects present a nutritional opportunity,but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced bywhat they are fed,”says Darja Dobermann,a researcher at the University of Nottingham.“In idealconditions,insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”
“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the foodor feed systems,but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems withoutthem turning into a more expensive version of poultry（家禽）for food,” says Dobermann.
The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa,up to 50% of dietary protein has comefrom insects,with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.
Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate,preferably in predictably large quantities.They are consumed at various life stages,as raw,fried,boiled, roasted or ground food.

Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time.The role of corporate culture isto improve a company’s mission and strategies,with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit.Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.
One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and compliance（服从）. A company does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions.A direct influence may be a setof written regulations or other policies,and while these may be in place,the corporate culture is usually moreof an indirect influence.
While many companies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies,its role isharder to define.The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed.The way uppermanagement acts and reacts to various situations defines how lower-level employees will act,and this aspectmay be more important than any written policy.
A company’s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a company to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a company’s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals.Inthis case,the culture creates a link between the company’s employees and its customers.How customers reactmay be a direct result from the company’s corporate culture.
Product quality can also be influenced by a company’s corporate culture.Companies that focus only onprofits may decide to avoid high-quality materials in products,but try to suggest that the products are ofhigher quality than they really are.This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty withconsumers.
