It is estimated that, in the future, one of the greatest challenges will be whether humanity will be able to feed the growing world population. The intake of insects in human nutrition, receives more and more attention, why? This is due, on the one hand, to the fact that the nutritional value of insects could help the growing world population as an alternative source of protein, on the other hand, the production of insects for human consumption has a lower environmental impact than the production of meat from conventional farm animals. However, the acceptance of entomophage in Western society is one of the main obstacles. The objective of this study is therefore to examine consumer acceptance of entomophage in the Spanish-speaking population
