Conventional protein sources in animal diets could be (partially) replaced with insects through a circular economy approach, growing insects on low-value substrates (e.g., organic wastes or crop residues). However, consumers’ acceptance of novel insect-fed animal products is key to the final success of such products. Thus, this study, with Linda Arata and Giulia Tiboldo, analyses consumers’ willingness to buy insect-fed poultry meat and eggs using the results from an online survey of 780 Italian consumers. Overall, results show a positive attitude of Italian consumers surveyed towards insect-feed animal products, with an interesting role played by the trust in the role of public authorities in ensuring food safety.
