The robustness of the results is tested via sensitivity analyses and Monte Carlo simulations. Impact categories include global warming potential (GWP), non-renewable energy use (NREU), agricultural land occupation (ALOP), terrestrial acidification potential (TAP) and freshwater eutrophication potential (FEP).
This study performs an LCA of a small-scale production system of yellow mealworms ( Tenebrio molitor) in Central Europe that are supplied with organic feedstuff.Ī combined ReCiPe midpoint (H) and CED method is used to estimate the potential environmental impacts from cradle-to-gate. Edible insects might be a sustainable protein supply to humans, but environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) studies on them are scarce. Traditional animal production is among the leading causes for climate change and occupation of land. Global food production needs to increase to provide enough food for over 9 billion people living by 2050.
