There&#x27;s huge potential in this space. I worked on a project in college where we examined the viability of using Black Soldier fly larvae as a protein source for animal feed. It&#x27;s a surprisingly high quality protein and also provides oils that can be processed into biofuels. The larvae can also be further processed to extract chitosan [1], which can sell for $100&#x2F;kg [2](depending on quality).<p>Of course, there are many challenges around mass-rearing of insects, especially for human consumption.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Chitosan" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Chitosan</a>
