Edible insects are specific insect species used for human consumption. Edible insects contain high-quality protein, vitamins, and amino acids that are necessary for humans. These insects have a high food conversion rate and require lower cost for production. For instance, crickets are a type of edible insects that requires six times less feed as compared to cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Additionally, they emit fewer greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock. Edible insects can also be grown on organic waste. Therefore, insects are a potential source for the conventional production of protein for direct human consumption.
