| dc.description.abstract | The world needs more protein for the ever-increasing population. The traditional production
of meat is responsible for a large part of greenhouse gases and pollution. Compared to the
production of animal protein, insect-based protein gives lower emissions and requires fewer
natural resources such as water, space, energy, and feed. This is novel food with an emerging
industry. There has been a concern about whether the insects could bring biological or
chemical damage to humans, eaten whole or use them as additions to food or a feed. It was
also assessed whether the climate benefits and the good degree (effectiveness) of utilisation
would outweigh any disadvantages that might be found. | en_US |
