Insect protein as animal feed: why we need it and how to scale it

It’s clear that animal feed supply chains in their current form are unsustainable for industrial animal production systems. To keep up with increasing global demand for meat, alternatives to the traditional feedstocks should be considered. So, what role can insect protein play? In this webinar, an expert panel discussed how insects are developing as an alternative protein, the opportunities for scale and impact, and the regulatory and financial environment needed to make it happen. Panel: Sara Walton, sector lead, agri-food standards, BSI Arnold van Huis, emeritus professor, laboratory of entomology, Wageningen University Cindy Dunston Quirk, CEO and founder, Scout & Zoe’s Premium Pet Products Adrian Charlton, principal scientist, Fera Science This discussion, held in partnership with BSI, was moderated by Toby Webb, founder of Innovation Forum.
