Abstract

Uvođenje jestivih kukaca u prehranu smatra se alternativnim rješenjem zadovoljenja energijskih i nutritivnih potreba uz dobrobiti za čovjeka i okoliš. Cilj ovog rada bio je uvidjeti postoji li međugeneracijska razlika u pogledu odnosa prema održivoj prehrani te koliko su pojedinci spremni konzumirati namirnice koje sadrže jestive kukce. Proveden je upitnik online putem, a ispitanici (n= 362) su obzirom na njihovu dob bili podijeljeni u 4 generacijske skupine: Boomers (n=34), Gen X (n=106), Millennials (n=64), Gen Z (n=158). Generacije X i Z pokazale su se više spremne kušati hranu s kukcima, no prikazom fotografija jela s kukcima nije utvrđena međugeneracijska razlika u želji za njihovom konzumacijom. Sve su generacije više spremne kušati hranu gdje kukci nisu vidljivi (npr. u obliku brašna u palačinkama). Generalno, većina ispitanika još nije spremna uvrstiti kukce u prehranu, a za to su se kao presudni faktori pokazali gadljivost i nedostatak znanja o njima.

Abstract (english)

The consumption of edible insects is considered an alternative solution for satisfying energy and nutritional needs with benefits for humans and the environment. The goal of this undergraduate thesis was to see if there is an intergenerational difference in terms of attitudes towards sustainable diet and how willing individuals are to consume foods containing edible insects. The questionnaire was conducted online and respondents (n= 362) were divided into 4 generational groups based on their age: Boomers (n=34), Gen X (n=106), Millennials (n=64), Gen Z (n=158). Gen X and Z seems to be more willing to taste food with insects, but actually showing photos of foods with insects did not establish an intergenerational difference in desire for their consumption. In general, the majority of the respondents are not yet ready to include insects in their diet, and the decisive factors for this were their disgust and lack of knowledge about them.
