1. With an estimated 11 billion people on the planet by the end of the century, humanity will need 80% more food. Perhaps insects will be the "miraculous food" of the future. What do you think? What is the latest trend for eating insects as a source of food?

2. After agriculture, oil and gas, the waste sector is one of the major methane-emitting activities.
