I think the study didn’t say what you think it does. The solid filtrate diet worked according to the summary, and doesn’t conflict with feed for chickens. There are vegan and vegetarian options of course, but saying they aren’t economic isn’t true.
“Economic” depends on the subsidies which exist regardless of the species of those organisms.
There are many studies on these conversion ratios, I just wanted to point at one that gets into the “waste promise” too.
Nothing is going to beat eating plants because plants are primary producers of calories, amino-acids, fats.
What is going to happen, especially in the Western places where meat is in large demand and large supply, is that subsidies for insect farming are going to sustain the usual vertebrate farming.
Not the hundreds of crickets.
Unlikely to be money. Raising insects is, by definition, raising animals. They need to eat too, along with shelter.
Ditch the crickets, eat the legumes. Legumes won’t run away. 🫘🫛
