Insects: The Sustainable Protein Revolution

Research highlights the potential of insects as a sustainable food source, offering a solution to global food security challenges. Insects require significantly less water, land, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional livestock. They utilize resources more efficiently, needing only two pounds of feed to produce a pound of body mass, which contrasts sharply with cattle and chickens that require 25 and 3-4 pounds, respectively. This efficiency positions insects not only as a viable protein alternative but also as a critical component in addressing issues related to feed production and environmental sustainability.
