The push to farm insects in the EU was mostly about their ability to convert food wastes to protein…and thus support the circular economy.

Turns out that to get consistent insect production actually requires a consistent formulated feed source from consistent raw materials.

For shrimp farmers skipping out the insect stage and feeding them directly with the same raw materials used for insect feeds will probably work just as well with shrimp being just marine versions on insects really…
