OBJECTIVE 4
ย Raising awareness of insect-based proteins in scientific and general public
This source of proteins carries numerous prejudices, especially in Western countries. With the development of production and processing technology, as well as their promotion, there can be progress in the field of consumption and consumption of food of insect origin, both in animal nutrition and in human nutrition. Therefore, one of the important goals of the project is to get insight into public opinion related to the use of insects in human nutrition in our country. For this purpose, we have foreseen a survey of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia to assess the level of awareness of citizens that in this way they can very efficiently meet their protein needs.ย
To encourage people to use insects-based proteins in human and animal nutrition, as well as to maximize the impact of the project, the project activities are aimed to creating a communication and dissemination plan and developing a strategy to disseminate the project results, as well as develop exploitation strategy of the achieved project results. Moreover, we will employ all available tools to promote the use of innovative technologies resulting from the project amongst the stakeholders. With regard to that, the project will organize workshops for the stakeholders to promote the results of the project and gather feedback about exploitation after the end of the project, as well as to do a knowledge transfer to the industry.ย
