2 Billion People In The World Are Eating Insects & Worms Regularly<\/h2>\n

Professor Louw Hoffman, from the University of Queensland in Australia, said:<\/strong> “Currently, the larvae come from the black soldier fly,<\/strong> which is already widely used for animal feed, and in the future, BSFL could also be eaten by Ours. This is a high-quality protein that could also be used as food for humans in the near future<\/strong>. It may seem hard to eat them but the black soldier fly larvae<\/strong> (a waste-eating fly) could become a new alternative protein source for humans It’s entirely possible<\/strong>.”<\/em> Black soldier fly larvae<\/strong> (also known as Calcium worms, BSF larvae<\/a>, BSFL)<\/em> contain higher iron and zinc<\/strong> than pork<\/strong>, along with a higher calcium content<\/strong> than milk<\/strong>. The rearing of black soldier fly larvae<\/strong> also takes up minimal natural resources, helping to protect the environment better. The largest concern regarding BSFL is the food safety risk<\/strong> associated with growing the larvae on waste.<\/p>\n

Professor Hoffman said<\/strong> the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)<\/strong> estimates that two billion people<\/strong> in the world are eating insects & worms regularly<\/strong> as part of their daily diet. Therefore, he thinks that it is OK for humans to use BSF larvae as a food source<\/strong> and that is very normal.<\/p>\n

Professor Hoffman <\/strong>added more info: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of research that\u2019s already been done on black soldier fly larvae as a feed for livestock, but we need to ensure we address safety issues before it can be as human foods. And The biggest factor preventing the use of BSF larval protein<\/strong><\/a> in our food supply is the current reluctance of Western consumers to accept insects as food in their diets, their daily meal.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Breeding Black Soldier Fly Larvae helps to Protect the Environment.<\/h2>\n

Breeding black soldier fly larvae<\/strong> are very convenient, they will save a lot of Agriculture land. More specifically, 1\/2 ha of black soldier fly larvae farm<\/strong> can produce more protein than grazing cattle on about 1200 ha of fields and branches. Protein equivalent of 52 hectares of soybeans. <\/strong>Professor Hoffman said: \u201cIf you care about the environment, you should consider and be willing to eat protein from insects & worms.<\/strong> It is a food source that must be used in the future.”<\/em><\/p>\n
