Environmental sustainability – Insects produce fewer greenhouse gases, require less water, and convert feed into protein more efficiently than livestock.

High nutritional value – Rich in protein (up to 70%), essential amino acids, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.

Economic benefits – Low production costs, rapid growth, and efficient land use.

Alternative applications – Used in food production, animal feed, and biotechnology (chitin-based materials and medicine).🦟

Insects are farmed in controlled environments with optimal temperature, humidity, and lighting. They are fed organic waste, grains, or plant-based diets. After reaching maturity, they are harvested, processed by drying or grinding, and used for food, animal feed, or industrial applications like bioplastics and fertilizers.
