We really need to start feeding insects with mountains of poop

Getty Images / WIRED The world has a poop problem. A big one. By 2030, it will be a 3.7 billion-tonnes-a-year problem, and that’s just accounting for faeces produced by farmed animals. This, by any measure, is a lot of poop, particularly considering many countries already struggle to deal with it. Much of this excess excrement can be used as crop fertiliser, but this is tricky in areas such as the Netherlands or northern Italy where there is a lot of livestock and little arable land. The alternative is to transport manure to areas where it is required. Another solution? Feed it to insects.
