摘要：Programmes that focus on providing families with nutritional supplements are not financially sustainable because communities become dependent on_ aid. Furthermore, supplements are not environmentally sustainable because of the packaging waste associated with processing, along with greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation required to deliver them to beneficiaries. Attempts to avoid supplement disbursements by helping families maintain livestock as a source of protein are costly. Thus, the growing edible insect movement provides a promising, affordable, and environmentally sustainable solution. Raising insects is cheap, and requires minimal space, food, and water.
