Legislation hindersuse of in-feed bugs
立法阻礙了昆蟲飼料的使用
Recently I have been attacked by insects, not literally by the animal,but by information surrounding these bugs and their use as a valuableingredient in animal and human diets. However, legislation is not that fast andtheir use in animal diets is still prohibited.
最近我遭到了昆蟲的攻擊，這并不是字面意義上的昆蟲，而是圍繞這些昆蟲的信息以及他們作為動(dòng)物以及人類飲食的重要成分。然而，立法并沒有這么快，而且他們?cè)趧?dòng)物飲食中的使用仍然被禁止。
The FAO estimates that the worldneeds to increase its food production by 70% by2050 inorder to serve a global population of ninebillion. Animal feed production is increasingly competing for resources (land,water and fertiliser) with human food and fuel production, urbanisation andnature. 70% of the world's agricultural land is already directly or indirectlydedicated to meat production. With a growing world population and increasinglydemanding consumers, can we still produce sufficient animal protein in thefuture? We need to identify alternative protein sources with urgency, andinsects have great potential in contributing to global food security.
聯(lián)合國(guó)糧農(nóng)組織預(yù)測(cè)世界需要在2050年將食物產(chǎn)量增加70%，以便滿足世界90億的人口。動(dòng)物食物的生產(chǎn)越來(lái)越與人類食物和燃料生產(chǎn)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)資源（土地，水以及肥料）。世界上70%的農(nóng)業(yè)土地已經(jīng)直接或間接的貢獻(xiàn)給了肉品生產(chǎn)。隨著世界人口的不斷增加以及越來(lái)越挑剔的消費(fèi)者，我們?cè)谖磥?lái)仍然能夠生產(chǎn)足夠的動(dòng)物蛋白嗎？我們需要很有緊迫感地去尋找替代蛋白質(zhì)資源，而昆蟲將有很大的潛力貢獻(xiàn)于全球食品安全。
Legislation issues oninsects as feed
However, the production, tradeand use of edible insects as food and feed touch on a wide range of regulatoryareas, from product quality assurance to the environmental impact of insectfarming. Consequently, one of the largest barriers to increasing consumption ofedible insects, as well as their use as animal feed, islegislation.?Regarding inclusion in animal diets, does insects fall in thesame category as blood meal and fishmeal for example and what are the rulesconcerning using animal products for growing the insects? Currently, insectscannot be grown on animal based media and manure. A lot of questions are stillunanswered regarding the use of insects in the feed of production animals.Insects can be used in food for pets. In addition, some EU legislation hindersthe use of insects in animal diets. Think of the TSE legislation and the rulesregarding the use of animal by-products.
昆蟲作為食物的立法問題
然而，可食用昆蟲作為食物和飼料的生產(chǎn)，貿(mào)易以及使用觸及了一系列監(jiān)管領(lǐng)域，從產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量保證到昆蟲養(yǎng)殖對(duì)環(huán)境的影響。因此，不斷增長(zhǎng)的可食用昆蟲消費(fèi)以及他們作為動(dòng)物飼料的最大障礙之一就是立法。考關(guān)于納入動(dòng)物飼料，那么昆蟲會(huì)落在像血粉和魚粉這一類中以及與這些關(guān)于使用不斷增長(zhǎng)的動(dòng)物產(chǎn)品的規(guī)則是什么？目前，昆蟲還無(wú)法生長(zhǎng)在動(dòng)物基礎(chǔ)媒介和糞便上。很多關(guān)于生產(chǎn)動(dòng)物飼料中使用昆蟲的問題仍然沒有被回答。昆蟲可以用在寵物食品中，另外，一些歐盟的立法阻礙了昆蟲在動(dòng)物食品中的使用。想一想TSE立法以及關(guān)于動(dòng)物副產(chǎn)品使用的規(guī)則。
