It’s no secret that hens love eating grubs and will forage for them for hours if given a chance. But can we ethically justify introducing a new production animal to improve the welfare of another? This and more will be discussed at our symposium: https://t.co/Z7vGCVzLxW

100 days to go! September 12th we will share our research and place it in a broader perspective with stakeholders. During the symposium we will discuss environmental, health, ethical, consumer and economic perspectives of insects in food production. See: https://t.co/ijYNd0rN2f

🦗🐄 Insects as sustainable animal feed: would they be a real alternative to soy and fishmeal? Yes, say @AvanHuis from @WUR and his colleague from Università di Torino (@unito). They listed the main pros and cons in their publication in @ScienceMagazine ➡ https://t.co/u85kpGbInt
