Abstract
The insect industry is a nascent but emerging industry that poses many opportunities for creating a sustainable food system. But how does the insect industry contribute to the triple bottom line, and how will its sustainable impact improve if certain barriers are overcome? In this research, we take a look at the sustainable potential of insect rearing both now and in a future where barriers like feed policy and insect food acceptance are overcome. Through interviews with insect rearing experts we discover that currently the insect industry is not able to offer many economic, environmental or social values. But if barriers are overcome, significant value can be created for each three. This signifies the potential that insect rearing can have for the planet and its society. This research can thus be used as an argument to policymakers to support the industry, or even as a motivation for entrepreneurs seeking to start their own insect business.
