Project description

Objectives
1) What is the relation between the rearing conditions and the microbial and chemical safety of the insects?
2) Which substrates can be used for safe, large-scale insect growing and what are the requirements that have to be met?
3) What are good practices for the rearer to produce a safe supply of insects?
