-High in nutrients such as being very high in fatty acids, proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals.

-Bugs are also easy to farm as they are high in numbers and reproduce quickly. For 1kg of chicken you need 2500 grams of feed and 4L of water. For crickets its 1700 grams and little to no water.

An additional fact is that there is over 200 million bugs for each human on the planet, which is 300+ lbs of insects for every pound of humans.

-Lower gas emissions compared to other meat production such as Beef. Where bugs produce between 10-80% less methane gas than beef production.

Chitin (The primary part of the exoskeleton of insects) has shown to possibly help increase immune defence and combat against inflammation and cancer.

meat and poultry are great sources of protein, they also provide lots of other nutrients for your body

meatless diets have been shown to contain lower amounts of calcium ,vitamin d ,b-12, omega-3 fatty acids which all have important roles in maintaining bone health

a high protein, low carb diet which could
include lean meat can help control blood sugar

recent evidence shows that meat protein could help maintain a healthy cardiovascular function

Dr . Bradley Johnson. (dalhousie university)

zinc helps maintain optimal immune function and promotes wound healing . beef is too dietary source of zinc

high protein diets that include lean meat have been shown to promote long term weight loss

Pros:

Reduced Cost
- Using all the natural components of the ecosystem like composting the waste into useful organic matter and manure, you save up a lot of money which you would otherwise be spending on uncoventional farming

Less Waste
- In permaculture, waste products are recycled and manured back to the earth in the form of compost. There is less waste bacause all the present resources are optimally utilized.

Less Pollution
- If you're using the most natural way of agriculture cultivation, then there is no way you can increase the pollution.

Promotes Green Living
- In permaculture, one uses natural fertilizer, natural pesticides, and freshwater reserves.

Zoning
- An important part of permaculture is zoning. Zoning means arranging the produce depending on what ripens first and what needs more attention. Following this way, the ripe nfruits and vegetables are plucked first and the later ones, as and when they ripen.

- Lowers the amount of extra land required.
- Farmers can spend less time in their fields an get higher yields.
- Planting monoculture fields also allows farmers to buy seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides in bulk and to sell their crop in bulk.
- Specialized crop production
