Mega Show - Kintex

Our bughouse365 team participated in the mega show at Kintex, Ilsan. Here, cookies, macarons, and foods all of which were made from edible insect powder were introduced and promoted. We had a bee experiment booth which attracted many people to come visit and learn more about edible insects and the impacts they have on us.

We also interviewed people at the mega show and it showed that more people are now aware of the positive aspects of edible insects. In Particular, younger children appeared to be more open to the idea of edible insect food. However, there were still many people who refused to try the edible insect food, showing a sense of rejection. We feel that spreading awareness towards the younger generation would be more effective.
