Abstract
La consommation d'insectes représente des enjeux nutritionnels, économiques et écologiques à l'échelle mondiale mais fait face à de nombreux freins dans le monde occidental. L'objectif de cet article est d'explorer la comestibilité des insectes en France par l'étude les représentations mentales des insectes et de l'entomophagie. Une étude qualitative menée auprès de 37 jeunes adultes (20-30 ans) permet de mettre en lumière les freins et motivations liés à la consommation d'insectes, les types d'insectes les moins rejetés, les formes et préparations les mieux acceptées ainsi que les informations pouvant favoriser leur consommation chez ces « early adopters ». Ces résultats visent à éclairer les fabricants sur les produits à concevoir et les informations à communiquer pour faire accepter les insectes comme culturellement comestibles en France. Consumption of insects provides nutritional, economic and ecological advantages all around the world but arouses many obstacles in western countries. The objective of this article is to explore the notion of edibility of insects by young French consumers through the study of mental representations of insects and entomophagy. A qualitative study on 37 young adults (20-30 years old) highlight restraints and motivations related to consumption of insects, the less rejected types of insects, what kind of formulations are accepted and which information could promote their consumption by those "early adopters". The results aim to inform manufacturers about the products to design and information to communicate in order to make accept insects as culturally edible in France.
