Dear Colleagues,

• The focus of this Special Issue is on recent  advances  in sustainable insect production related to (but not limited to):
• Insect-rearing technologies and methods (diet formulations, rearing protocols, etc.);
• The inclusion of insects in animal diets and aquafeeds (feeding trials, etc.);
• Environmental footprints;
• Insect-based food and feed products (insect processing, nutritional value, etc.);
• Economic and business aspects (marketing, etc.); Waste management through insect bioconversion; Insect-plant synergies for complete  protein design in food and feed;
• Novel uses of insects and  their products/byproducts (fertilizers, etc.);
• Public perception and consumers'  acceptance of the use of insects for food and feed;
• Lifecycle assessment (LCA), social LCA (SLCA), and technoeconomic assessment (TEA).

Therefore, we kindly invite you to submit papers  to this Special Issue that  will further illuminate and  unfold the potential of insect exploitation.
