Protein demand doubles

Increasing world population6.000.000.000 -> 9.000.000.000

Increasing welfare25 kg meat pp/yr -> 80 kg meat pp/yr

Meat consumption in 2050450 billion kilo meat per year

2 times higher than the current level! (Source FAO)

Protein demand filled in by…?

Excessive Manure Production

Solution? More….

Scalability?

Greenhouse gasses

Diseases

Animal welfare

Effective use of resources? Land, fresh water, phosphor

Loss of Biodiversity

Animal protein not the only solution

FAO: "the future of the livestock will be a trade off between the demand for animal food products and the conservation of the environment”

• Manure• Scalability• Greenhouse emissions• Diseases and animal welfare• Land use

Potential for growth of regular livestock production is limited

Vegetable protein

Other protein resources have limitations as well

• Empty Sea

• 1 kg caught

Fish for 1 kg

Fish production

• Scalability,

surface

limitation

• Loss of

biodiversity

• GMO

Much lower emissions (NH3 and greenhouse gasses)

Better feed conversion efficiency(in terms of speed as well CO2 production)

Much less land required

Value chain needs to be developed(educating the market, “best practices network”)

Enable Industrial mass production(QC, Safety, availability labor-efficiency)

Ensure sustainable agriculture(environment, animal welfare, Legislation)

Three critical factors exist to developan industrial insect industry

Enthusiasm for “Best practices network” indication of the viability
