“The Center for Environmental Sustainability through Insect Farming aims to advance insect agriculture with high-quality research.”
“The Center for Environmental Sustainability through Insect Farming – or CEIF – is a consortium composed of three universities: Texas A&M AgriLife, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis — also known as IUPUI – and Mississippi State University. The National Science Foundation funded the formation and management of the center, which aims to provide high-quality research on insect farming to industry so companies can better expand their production of insect ingredients for animal feed and human food. All research funds are provided by industry advisory board members.”
““...by bolstering these economies and creating jobs, we’re saving lives, we’re creating nutritive valued byproducts that can be used to grow livestock that then can be food. It protects the environment. There’s so many benefits that come from this.” ”
