         Think about this: the United Nations predicts that by 2050, the world’s population will reach 9.8 billion. As a result, global demand for food and feed is expected to increase by 70 per cent, putting additional pressure on already overexploited agricultural resources. Meanwhile, nearly one billion people worldwide are still suffering from food deprivation.        

                To meet the considerable challenge of ensuring food security for the future, it is imperative to find alternative and sustainable sources of protein, both for human consumption and for animal feed, and eating insects is one possible solution that is gradually receiving more and more attention from the public. 

        For example, insects are already a natural source of food for pigs and poultry as well as many fish species. In addition, insect larvae are generally high in protein and are rich in other beneficial nutrients such as fats, minerals and vitamins. As a source of protein for direct human consumption, insects offer several advantages over traditional sources of meat. They have a significantly higher feed conversion rate than other livestock, which means they are more effective at converting the ingredients used to feed them into nutrients.

        In addition, insect production is more environmentally friendly than conventional livestock production. Insects release much lower amounts of greenhouse gases and ammonia into the atmosphere per kilogram of meat than cattle or pigs.
