Insectos en sistemas agroalimentarios: de la alimentación a la bioeconomía sostenible

In a global context where food security and sustainability are top priorities, the agri-food system faces increasingly complex challenges. The growing demand for animal protein, competition for natural resources, and the need to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural production have driven the search for more sustainable alternatives. In this scenario, insects have emerged not only as an innovative and efficient source of animal nutrition but also as a key tool for waste management, the optimization of production systems, and the advancement of the bioeconomy. Their integration into agri-food systems requires a science-based approach, appropriate regulatory frameworks, and adaptation to diverse contexts.
