In the
decade, bugs have become a familiar
on dinner tables. One reason for this is they are a great source of protein. Another
is that people are concerned about the environment. Traditional livestock farming is
to the environment as it is generally unsustainable. Raising insects is much more environmentally
. One kilogram of insect protein needs about 10 per cent of the feed, water and land used to produce the
amount of beef. Experts say farming insects is
for the environment than raising livestock. A final
we may have to eat insects is because of the
in the world's population. By 2050 this is expected to be 9.8 billion, up from the
7.7 billion.
