Resumen
IN RECENT YEARS, THE CONCEPT OF BIOCONVERSION OF INSECT RESOURCES HAS GAINED TRACTION AS A PROMISING SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THE PRESSING ISSUES OF FOOD SECURITY, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND RESOURCE SCARCITY. OFTEN OVERLOOKED AS A POTENTIAL FOOD SOURCE, INSECTS OFFER A VIABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE THAT COULD REVOLUTIONIZE FOOD PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION. THE BIOCONVERSION OF INSECT RESOURCES INVOLVES THE UTILIZATION OF INSECTS AS A SOURCE OF PROTEIN AND OTHER NUTRIENTS. INSECTS ARE INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT AT CONVERTING ORGANIC MATTER INTO HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN, MAKING THEM A HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE FOOD SOURCE (VAN ET AL., 2023).
