When I published my first paper on lake flies, there was an abundance of insects. Now in my old age I am seeing less and less of it.” Starting farming insects does not need high start-up capital. In fact, there are many insect-farms operated by families in India and Southeast Asia (Halloran et al. 2017; Van Huis & Oonincx 2017). The industrial production of most insects are still on their way. Farming these species in a large scale means the opening up of new industries, which would bring in opportunities of employments. Labor would be needed from production to sales. Regional income would conceivably increase in principle.

Overall, insects have obvious advantages in nutritional value. Their nutritional compositions are actually quite similar to those of the traditional animal foods (Raubenheimer & Rothman 2013). They have enormous potential as a source of nutrients and active substances not only for human, but also for poultry. D’Antonio, V.; Serafini, M.; Battista, N.

Introduction

In other words: if we don’t want to take the drastic step of simply eating more vegetables… we should probably get used to eating insects ourselves.
