- The potential of insect protein to reduce food-based carbon footprints in Europe: The case of broiler meat production (2021, background): “…of insects as an alternative protein source for the poultry industry in the European context is sparse (Netherlands: Blonk et al., 2008; Smetana et al., 2016, 2019; Germany: Ites et al., 2020), and previous studies focusing on insect-based food and feed production, in general, show…”
- The environmental sustainability of insects as food and feed. A review (2017, background): “To date, LCAs have only been published for mealworms, house crickets, black soldier flies, and houseflies (Oonincx and de Boer 2012; Miglietta et al. 2015; Roffeis et al. 2015; Van Zanten et al. 2015; Smetana et al. 2016, Halloran et al. 2017).”
- Standardisation of quantitative resource conversion studies with black soldier fly larvae (2020, background): “…feed substrate (resource) (Onsongo et al. , 2018), its nutritional quality, and the effects on larval development and body composition (e.g. protein, fat) (Barragan-Fonseca et al. , 2017), environmental footprint (Smetana et al. , 2016), and safety of the insect product (Purschke et al. , 2017).”
- Future Protein Supply and Demand: Strategies and Factors Influencing a Sustainable Equilibrium (2017, background): “The identification of appropriate comparison boundaries for novel and existing protein sources is also important as highlighted by Smetana et al. [75] in relation to insect-based and traditional products.”
- Life cycle assessment of cricket farming in north-eastern Thailand (2017, background): “…2010); conducting a life cycle assessment (LCA) on mealworm production (Oonincx and de Boer, 2012) and industrial production of black soldier flies (Smetana et al., 2016); assessing crickets fed waste from different side- gmail.com (A. Halloran). streams such as municipal food waste (Lundy and…”
- Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review (2017, background): “Insects that can be sustainably reared on organic side streams could offer a suitable alternative animal protein source (Smetana et al., 2016).”
- Effects of feedstock on larval development and process efficiency in waste treatment with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) (2019, background): “Furthermore, many insects can be reared on waste streams, which keeps the environmental footprint low and assists in recycling of refuse (Smetana et al., 2016).”
