Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms — could act as a meat alternative to alleviate hunger worldwide. The process uses a fraction of the land and water and emits a smaller carbon footprint in comparison of traditional farming.
To make this a reality, French biotech company Ynsect is planning a global network of insect farms, including nurseries and slaughterhouses. A pilot plant has already been been set up at Dole in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France.
“We are in full control of the chain of production. That gives us strength in terms of quality, security and safety,” says Benjamin Armenjon, general manager of Ynsect, according to a statement from SWNS.
Robot arms and automated conveyor belts transport stacks of red trays in every direction. They are are filled with billions of Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae. The dried critters are more than 50 percent protein and rich in fiber and fats as well.
They can be turned into protein powders, shakes, burgers, cereal bars, and even cooking oils at a fraction of the environmental cost of traditional farming. For every one kilogram of protein, Ynsect uses 98 percent less land and emits 40 times less carbon than beef. It also uses 40 times less water than pork production.
Yuck.
Well ok, maybe that lol
Hahaha.. What crappola.
why is it that the vast majority of those people/nations share undeveloped economies, have the highest illiteracy, highest unemployment and control the UN through their mother ship, the OIC?
ALL THIS CRAP IS ABOUT EQUITY, TO BRING WESTERN WHITE CHRISTIANS DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL
Whitey has been very good at creating solutions for every problem. It’s the way of free markets. Islam ever created the necessary infrastructure, thusly they are tribally trapped in the 7th century.
Plenty left over from that baby robin that Opie raised after shooting its ma.
