Question

Compare and contrast the environmental impact of raising livestock versus raising insects for food?

Answer 1

The problem of less land for raising a livestock and the environmental risk for raising insects for food.

Explanation:

To raise a livestock, the farming requires a large land for all the cattle to graze. However to the constant increase of human population and wiping out of agricultural land it is high possibility for a proper cattle farming.

Whereas for raising insects it does not require a large land. A small quantity of land is more than enough for the insects. But for the rate of extinction and endangering insects, only a few is capable for consuming. The insects should be qualified for consuming and from the risk of endangering.

Livestock do not of the issue of getting endangered as they are more in number and adaptable to climate change. It is an unbalanced situation in both ways.
