Researchers have been awarded more than £10,000 to investigate using edible insects in animal feed.
Hailed as a source of high protein food, experts at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) will look at the possibility of farming them as a potential way of developing sustainable agriculture in Scotland.
The research will bring together insect farmers, feed business operators and policymakers to develop a strategy for farming insects for animal feed, particularly the black soldier fly.
