EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a caramelized locust takes center stage as it delicately adorns a cake made entirely of insects. Taken at the University of Wageningen in April 2012, this image represents groundbreaking research conducted by scientists at the university who discovered that insects could be the ultimate solution to meeting the protein needs of our ever-growing population. With 70 percent of agricultural land currently dedicated to livestock production, exploring alternative sources of protein becomes crucial for sustainable food systems. This close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of both the caramelized locust and its insect-filled surroundings. The green backdrop adds an element of surrealism, emphasizing nature's role in providing sustenance. The composition highlights not only the creative use but also the inherent beauty found within these often-overlooked creatures. With no people present, we are encouraged to appreciate their aesthetic qualities while contemplating their potential impact on our environment. The elevated view allows us to fully appreciate every aspect – from plate crockery to depth of field – creating a picturesque scene that is both atmospheric and thought-provoking. Michael Kooren's masterful photography skillfully showcases how even unconventional ingredients can be transformed into something visually stunning and potentially beneficial for our future well-being.
