The potential of insect protein to reduce food-based carbon footprints in Europe: The case of broiler meat production (2021, background): “On the other hand, state-of-the-art technologies for insect mass production are still in their early development stages (Cortes Ortiz et al., 2016), and therefore we could expect further considerable GWP improvements in the future.”
Insect-Based Bioconversion: Value from Food Waste (2019, background): “2017; Wang and Shelomi 2017), as the industrial production of insects requires significant quantities of cheap, reliable feedstock (Ortiz et al. 2016).”
A Review of the Scientific Literature for Optimal Conditions for Mass Rearing Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) (2018, background): “Although the process can be mechanized (Cortes Ortiz et al. 2016; Oonincx and de Boer 2012), the use of insects for feed or food will only be a reality if production costs are competitive when compared to production of other, more-traditional protein sources (e.g., soybean, fishmeal).”
