It is estimated that in 2093 the world population will reach 9.7 billion people, causing the demand for food to increase. But the current food supply is not enough. Points out that protein from insects will replace Used to produce a variety of foods. meet needs identified as an opportunity for Thailand to plan its marketing Ms. Usasri Khieowrayab, Director of the Office of Foreign Trade Promotion in Chicago, United States, Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), revealed that there are currently reports of eating edible insects (Edible Insects) at Prepared by the United Nations (UN), it states that by 2050 or 2050, the world's population will reach 9.7 billion people and the food to feed the entire world population at that time will have to be twice as much food.

The protein food that will replace livestock is insects because it is high quality protein. It has also been confirmed that the protein from crickets is higher than the protein from beef. And crickets also contain 9 important amino acids, including vitamin B12, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium. And in raising them, they require less space, such as an area of 10,000 square meters. Protein can be produced from Insects produce 150 tonnes per year, and crickets also emit methane gas. This is a gas that has 80 times less impact on the earth's atmosphere than a cow's.
At the same time, there is also information that fish currently consumed around the world More than half of the quantity is raised from farms. Insect proteinis considered the best food for fish. Because it contains a natural mineral called chitin (Chitin) as well as being a good food for poultry. Because it is a reduction and does not require the use of antibiotics In addition, the UN has predicted that the trend for raising edible insects will be in the form of vertical farms in buildings. And it will be an urban farm. Takes up a small space The edible insect market will be worth US$1.53 billion in 2021. Products made from insects that are popular are made into flour and used to produce various types of food such as bread, biscuits, cookies, muffins, desserts, soups, smoothies, chips and pasta. The big ones are made from crickets and mealworms.
