Résumé
There is a need to develop alternative sources of protein for livestock feed as reliance on existing imported sources may expose the UK to future economic and supply chain insecurities. Farming insects could limit the land use requirement for animal feed production, freeing up land to grow crops for human consumption. As insects can be fed on organic waste material, it may offer a real option for managing a growing waste burden by recycling valuable materials which would otherwise be lost. Whilst currently prohibited by EU law, the use of insects for animal feed may soon become possible as evidence for safe usage continues to grow.
