"More than ever, efforts are needed to develop a global bioeconomy. Harnessing and industrializing insect biology will create opportunities for recycling organic side streams to generate materials of value while minimizing environmental impacts. Such systems are being developed in Global North and Global South Nations. This new book, which features contributions by experts working in both industry and academia, sets part of the foundation for the recognition and application of such practices." (Professor Jeffery K.

"More than ever, efforts are needed to develop a global bioeconomy. Harnessing and industrializing insect biology will create opportunities for recycling organic side streams to generate materials of value while minimizing environmental impacts. Such systems are being developed in Global North and Global South Nations. This new book, which features contributions by experts working in both industry and academia, sets part of the foundation for the recognition and application of such practices." (Professor Jeffery K. Tomberlin, Texas A&M University, USA) With significant concerns about the environmental impact of conventional crop and livestock production, there is a growing interest in utilising novel alternative sources of protein in both human and animal diets. Insects have long been consumed by an array of species, such as birds, fish and mammals, including humans. Insects as alternative sources of protein for food and feed provides a comprehensive overview of the recent research undertaken in this rapidly-expanding area. The book reviews the production and application of black soldier flies, yellow mealworms and other insects as alternative protein sources in poultry, pig and fish feed, as well as their nutritional benefits and challenges that can arise as a result of their use. Through its considered approach, the book explores how the safety of insect-derived protein can be ensured across the supply chain, as well as how we can optimise its use as a sustainable feed and food source which contributes to a more resilient food system. Edited by a leading expert in industry, the book will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in animal nutrition, companies involved in the manufacture of animal feed or animal nutrition services, government and other agencies regulating the animal feed sector, as well as farmers interested in utilising animal feed supplemented with insect-derived proteins. Adriana Casillas is co-founder and CEO of Tebrio. Tebrio is Spain's first, award-winning, large-scale manufacturer of insect protein for food, feed, pet food and other applications. Collaborators with Tebrio include the Universities of Almería, Burgos and Granada. Adriana was also Vice-President of the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed (IPIFF) from 2016-2021 and is currently President of IPIFF. With over 80 members from more than 20 countries, IPIFF represents the interests of the insect production sector within the EU in particular.
