Insects are much more efficient than animals when it comes to protein production; they require less food to produce the same amount of protein. For example, with 10 pounds of seeds we could obtain 6 pounds of grasshoppers, meanwhile we would only obtain 1 pound of beef. By increasing our insect consumption, we would need less land for farming, less water, less deforestation, and would lower our greenhouse gas emissions.
