And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing global population seeks more sources of food and feed. Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmental footprints than traditional alternatives, and they can be raised on leftovers. But cultural, social and economic problems remain, reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin. “Insects present a nutritional opportunity, but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced by what they are fed,” says Darja Dobermann, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. “In ideal conditions, insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein。 less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.” “Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the food or fed systems, but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems without them turning into a more expensive version of poultry(家禽)for food,” says Dobermann. The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100 countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten。 in central Africa, up to 50% of dietary protein has e from insects, with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein. Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate, preferably in predictably large quantities. They are consumed at various life stages, as raw, fried, boiled, roasted or ground food.(1)Which of the following is the advantage of raising insects for food?
