Outline of the Conference
The Cabinet Office's Moonshot Goal 5 aims to create a sustainable global food supply industry by 2050 by fully utilizing unutilized biological functions. In this symposium, we will introduce two projects that are closely related to insects, and discuss their research activities and future sustainable food production and consumption systems.
