Insect consumption, also known as entomophagy, involves eating insects as food. This practice is common in many cultures around the world, particularly in regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Insects are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious food source. In recent years, there has been growing interest in insect consumption as a sustainable alternative to traditional livestock. Raising insects requires less land, water, and feed compared to cattle or pigs. Additionally, insects produce fewer greenhouse gases, making them an environmentally friendly option for addressing global food security challenges.
