Using insects as feed

[Brid @ ADAS]

Hi! ADAS is running a survey to identify the barriers and opportunities of scaling up insect production as a sustainable alternative to imported soya for livestock feed. We're looking to get the views of pig and poultry farmers in particular, as well as feed suppliers and mixers. Can you help? A link to the survey is here - https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/insectsasfeed/
Thanks in advance!

It's the World Wildlife Fund. At one point it could also have meant the World Wrestling Federation but this isn't really their thing Thanks @Chickcatcher

If Chris Packham hears this it'll be a cruelty to insects campaign.

I completed this, it raised some interesting points, I don't consider that the WWF is totally anti-livestock farming, certainly not as bad as many other organisations.

Is this not how quorn started?

A novel protein source for animal feed, give it a few years and then cut out the middle bit, form it into patties and sausages and sell for human consumption.
