Abstract

Due to burgeoning populations, income growth, employment, and urbanization trends, food security had become a global concern. Entomophagy is a process of consuming edible insects that had been chosen as an alternative food source to solve the issues of food security. This study aimed to examine the effect of factors related to the product, social trust and norms, and psychological factors on consumers’ acceptance towards entomophagy. The number of samples to be taken is 100 respondents with a convenience sampling method. Data was collected using a questionnaire and then analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results show that factors related to the product and psychological factors affect consumers’ acceptance towards entomophagy, while on the contrary, social trusts and norms do not affect consumers’ acceptance towards entomophagy.
