#soil | @MongabayOrg wrote a great piece on supplementing soil with insects’ cast-off outer skin, based on publications of Katherine Barragán-Fonseca, @DickeMarcel and other colleagues of WUR's Laboratory of #Entomology 👇 news.mongabay.com/2023/06/st…

Time ‘#flies’ when you’re having fun 🪰
Pleasant work-trip to Groningen: Thought-provoking discussions on Insect #welfare, #behaviour and #immune responses with colleagues of InsectFeed consortium; followed by a visit to housefly🪰 rearing facilities!

🦗🐄 Insects as sustainable animal feed: would they be a real alternative to soy and fishmeal? Yes, say @AvanHuis from @WUR and his colleague from Università di Torino (@unito). They listed the main pros and cons in their publication in @ScienceMagazine ➡ wur.nl/en/research-results/r…

#Insect value-chain complexities + socio-ecological considerations + consumer acceptance & awareness. Much promise & multi-disciplinary collaborations is the key! Thank you for organising ‘Insects as Feed’ course & expanding my horizons @DickeMarcel @YAartsma @PEandRC @FeedInsect

Postgraduate course: Interdisciplinary approach to insects as sustainable feed component (21-26 August 2022) aims to exchange knowledge and stimulate interdisciplinary discussions.#ScienceForPeace #circularfoodproduction #InsectsForPeace 🐛🐟🕊️💪lnkd.in/gePmydAy
ALT In this course we will approach these themes with an interdisciplinary approach, combining biology, animal science, ethics and economics. International experts on the different disciplines will provide input for knowledge exchange and discussions on the topic of insects as feed component for a sustainable and circular food production.

📚Hope it doesn't `bug´ you, but this article may be a little different than usual! It talks about the legality of trading #insects in Europe as #Industry fears the #future of edible insects as Brexit leaves trade in legal limbo.

ALT A theoretical model: Agroecological Insect- Fish Farming model (AIFF), as a new opportunity to develop a circular economy by implementing practices such as the use of insects, especially the Black Soldier Fly (BSF), producing high-value proteins for fish feed and consequently food for human consumption and a more sustainable planet.
