It is believed that livestock farming is ethically problematic and cause environmentally unfriendly, which shifting to farming insects. Personally, I partly agree with this suggestion based on this essay.
There are some reasons that explain why farming meat cause detrimental to our environment. First and foremost, there are take acoount of lands to raise these animals. For instance, a wide place for these animals to live, a home for the farmer which leads to deforestation to spare groundlands for livestock farming. In stead of keeping these forest for more oxygen, preventing from flood, people choose to cut down on forest. Farming meat is bad for our environment.
Contrary, farming insects provide us high nutritional value for our body. Varities of insects contains high protein, vitamins, minirals that may hard to find in livestocks. Thanks to insects’ nutritional density, people can get diversity of nutrition to support our sustainable lives. Although some people find that insect pleasant to consume, farming insect could trigger possible health risks & allergies. Some insects contain unknown componants that need the careful observation and analysis and by food security, people can reduce medical bills.
Obviously environment is harmed by livestock farming since its requirement of deforestation. Though farming insect contains high nutrition, it is also need a great observation of entomophagy to avoid health danger. To my mind, I partly agree with this practice, I personally suggest that beside livestock & insect farming, we should explore on sustainable agriculture such as plant-based, vegetable.
