Raising insects for food also has less of an environmental impact than raising livestock

Farming insects for food also has less environmental impact than livestock farms do because insects emit far less greenhouse gas and use up less space, water, and food.Socioeconomically, bug production could uplift people in developing countries since insect farms can be small scale, highly productive, and yet relatively inexpensive to keep.Insects can also be turned into more sustainable food for livestock and can be reared on organic waste,like vegetable peelings,that might otherwise just end up rotting in landfills.
