Explain why insect farming is more sustainable than raising large livestock, such as cattle or chickens. Do you think more Americans will embrace the idea of eating insects? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The major environmental advantages of insect farming compared to livestock production are as follows: (1) less land and water is required; (2) greenhouse gas emissions are lower; (3) insects have high feed conversion efficiencies; (4) insects can transform low-value organic by-products into high-quality food or feed.

Insects release fewer greenhouse gases than traditional livestock. Rearing traditional livestock accounts for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions (pdf, p . 63), which trumps emissions by the transportation industry. ... Insects also release much less ammonia and methane than pigs and cattle.
