Insect-based protein represents untapped potential in the Central European region
Original language description
In the last decade, the popularity of industrial insect rearing has expanded worldwide. Various types of insects are being reared not only for fish and livestock farming but also for direct human consumption. Central Europe appears to be a region where the transformation of biowaste into protein could have many positive effects. A literature review on insect farming and an analysis of the targeted market were carried out. The findings were put into a Central European context and assessed in terms of current and prospective legislation, including the economic and social context. It cannot be predicted that insect protein would become a common part of the European diet in the near future. Nevertheless, the rapidly growing number of EU companies in the industry together with smooth changes in legislation indicates that insect rearing is likely to have significant potential as a feed, feedstock for biorefineries, cosmetics, and other products of high added value. In addition, insect rearing demonstrated the ability to serve as a complement to improve soil fertility and nutrient regeneration. Moreover, food waste treatment via insect farming with their subsequent utilization as a feed is in accordance with the EU Circular economy concept.
