This journal focuses on the use of insects as a sustainable source of food and feed. Research covers the nutritional composition and digestibility of various insect species, including black soldier fly larvae and yellow mealworms, for use in animal feed and human food products. Studies also investigate the potential of using agricultural and industrial byproducts as substrates for insect rearing, as well as the technological and regulatory aspects of insect farming and processing for food and feed applications.
