Sustaining Life with the Power of Insect Protein:Ensuring Feed Safety Using Insect-Based Ingredients

摘要

Protein is an essential component of nutrition for both humans and animals, continuously being formed inside the body and broken down again. In order to maintain this cycle, about 15% of the daily energy intake should be covered by protein, to build and repair the cells that sustain life. To feed today's global population, agriculture produces roughly525 million tons of plant protein a year, found in corn, rice, wheat, or soybeans. Two third is fed to livestock to produce meat, while an estimated 15%is wasted from field to supermarket to consumer.
