    Insect farming is still worse in terms of Greenhouse gases than just eating the plants directly. While it is more efficient than traditional farming it also isn’t necessary for a healthy diet. I haven’t found a reliable study that examines how many tons of greenhouse gases could be saved by switching to an insect diet but I think it’s best to just directly switch to a plant based diet. Just as a remain reminder: 14 % of global greenhouse gases are produced by meat production according to a UN study.
