Circular economy of insect farming as an innovative strategy for weed management.

Weeds can reduce crop yields by 19% to 100%, yet their management remains heavily dependent on synthetic herbicides, despite growing concerns about environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and risks to human health. Here, we provide a critical review on the ecological management of weeds through edible insect farming...

Fungal contamination, mycotoxins, histamine, and allergen-related immunoreactivity in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods

Introduction Edible insects are consumed by over 3,000 ethnic groups, with 2,205 species documented as food in 128 countries, yet evidence on fungal contamination, mycotoxins and allergen-related risks remains limited. This study assessed these hazards in edible insects and insect-fortified complementary foods for infa...

Coupling intensified push–pull technology with insect frass biofertilization improves land productivity, protein yield and carbon stocks

We evaluated agricultural innovations such as push-pull (PP), vegetable-integrated push-pull (VIPP), and black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) for their transformative potential in rural smallholder agriculture. Using 12 cropping systems comprising two crops (maize and cowpea), BSFFF and diversified systems (PP an...
