Feeding the Future: Insects as a Sustainable Solution to Protein Deficiency

The global population has been increasing continuously. Proteins are vital for the existence of living organisms, including humans. They serve as bodybuilding components. Human beings are mostly dependent on plant-based and animal-based food materials for protein sources. Plant-based and animal-based protein sources are more costly, labour-intensive, and require more time for production. Globally, due to the lack of availability or the increased cost of protein sources, many humans are facing protein deficiency disorders. Hence, in search for other protein sources, insects are identified as the best alternatives to plant and animal-based protein sources. In many countries, humans are raising insects and consuming them as a protein-rich food. Choosing insects as a protein source is a comparatively cheap and efficient way of providing protein sources to low-income countries.
