Outlook 2022: Keeping up the momentum after milestone year for insect products in 2021

摘要

Insects are proving a solution to many of the European Union's most pressing challenges, being able to fill protein gaps in food and animal feed, counter high fertiliser prices through their waste products (frass), and potentially consuming millions of tons of former foodstuffs, thereby preventing food waste. After a bumper year for the insect production sector in 2021 with the first two insect novel food approvals, frass authorised for fertiliser and authorisation for insect proteins in pig and chicken feed, 2022 promises to continue this positive trend.
