MORE than £10,000 has been awarded to researchers at a Scottish college to investigate the use of edible insects in animal feed.
With insects 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 more 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.
