IPIFF has released a new brochure that highlights the growing importance of insect farming in Europe’s transition toward more sustainable and resilient food systems. Reflecting the latest EU policy developments and scientific research, the publication is aimed at policymakers, regulatory authorities, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders. It underscores the sector’s contribution to key EU objectives, including the Protein Diversification Strategy and circular economy targets, while positioning insects as a viable alternative protein source.
The brochure explores recent advancements in research – such as novel insect-feeding substrates and the benefits of insect frass – while emphasising the need for data aggregation to strengthen environmental performance assessments across the sector. It also calls for policy support to unlock the full circularity potential of insect farming, particularly through the safe use of former foodstuffs and catering waste. By aligning with EU priorities and advocating for smart regulation, the publication reinforces IPIFF’s commitment to fostering sustainable innovation in the European insect sector.
