About

Joseph Yoon, an Edible Insect Ambassador, is a world renowned chef and thought leader in entomophagy, or eating insects. Brooklyn Bugs was founded by Yoon in 2017 to normalize edible insects through delicious, creative, and educational programming. They receive grants and funding from universities, museums, and institutions with their outreach and advocacy reaching millions of households through regular press and television appearances globally.  

As a featured speaker around the world, Yoon shares the incredible potential of not only edible insects, but the burgeoning innovation in Insect Agriculture to create resilient solutions for our global food systems, and to address the challenges of food security, environmentalism, health, nutrition, workforce activation, and sustainability.
