Brooklyn Bugs

Edible Insects and Insect Agriculture can enhance food security, create innovative food systems with alternative proteins, provide livelihoods in rural and urban areas, and support a healthy and biodiverse ecosystem. Joseph Yoon, an Edible Insect Ambassador, is a world renowned chef and thought leader in entomophagy (or eating insects), and tours around the world to share the incredible potential of not only edible insects, but the burgeoning innovation in Insect Agriculture to address the challenges of food security, climate change, and sustainability. Brooklyn Bugs was founded in 2017 by Chef Yoon with the mission to normalize edible insects through delicious, creative, and educational programming. Brooklyn Bugs receives grants and funding from universities, museums, and institutions with their outreach and advocacy reaching millions of households through regular press and television appearances globally. Yoon views his participation in this global food movement as an extension of his commitment to his community and the environment.
