Gli ultimi mesi sono stati molto impegnativi per il Dossier #novelfood di @aliainsectfarm. Per rispondere all’ ultimo slot di Request of Information di EFSA abbiamo dovuto generare nuovi dati (che significa anche nuovi studi scientifici) e rivedere numerosi punti del dossier. Perché se si modifica una tabella, almeno 10 Annexes sono collegati, e di certo 3-4 Capitoli vanno rivisti per intero alla luce dei cambiamenti apparentemente innocui! Ringrazio prima di tutti i soci di Alia per la pazienza e la fiducia sempre tangibile; le Università di Roma, Parma e Pavia che hanno contribuito in maniera importantissima alla buona riuscita di questa fase Mid 2024 . Infine, un grande grazie ai due super consulenti\amici che dal Belgio e dall’ Olanda hanno nutrito e animato i pesanti files condivisi, senza mai abbandonarmi anche quando crashavano ripetutamente!

🏊♂️ Insects are a nutrient-dense food source that can be a valuable addition to any athlete's diet.   🔎 According to IPIFF (International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed)’s “EU Consumer Acceptance Survey on Edible Insects” 71% of respondents would consume sports supplements made with insect ingredients. Men who exercise regularly (76%) were more likely to include insect-derived food products in their diets than women (65%) from the same group.   🍪 Insects are used to produce protein bars and sports supplements due to their high nutritional value and functional properties. They can improve sports performance, muscle growth, and recovery.   If you're interested in learning more about Europeans' growing interest in alternative protein sources, check out the news piece (and the report) here 👉 https://bit.ly/3TzOb5F

We are delighted to promote the first output of our research about insect-based food at the Dipartimento di Scienze Aziendali UniBergamo. With Riccardo Valesi and Giuseppe Pedeliento (Ph.D), we have worked to understand the drivers of choice, and who is the potential target of this novel food. The results are surprising, nor are the green issues or the nutrition motives, but the search for novelty and variety. We are grateful to Carlotta Totaro Fila, MSc, MBA who helped us to develop the framework of this research...But the best is yet to come!! In the next research, we will analyze brands and insect-based food. #food #insects #consumer #foodinnovation You can read the entire article👇 https://lnkd.in/d2kcZrqR

There’s nothing like market updates 🚀 Over the past months, we have been working hard to update the "Overview of the European Insect Feed Market" factsheet. The factsheet sheds lights on the policy dossiers developed by IPIFF over the years 2020 and 2021. The document is now available with more detailed insights into the latest trends for insect feed producers. You can find the updated feed marketsheet here👉https://bit.ly/3IeFSWm 

Starting Monday with a bang 🚀  👉 The European Commission and the EU Member States authorities reached a consensus regarding the use of #live #insects in animal feed. 🐛 Both parties agreed that live insects may now be used in animal feed in the European Union. This includes feed for farmed fish, poultry, pigs, and pets, with the exclusion of ruminant animals. The decision removes the necessity for prior authorisation by EU national competent authorities. 🙌 This decision was announced during the latest meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food, and Feed (PAFF Committee) held on Friday, 16 February. #animalfeed #insect #agriculture #farming #insectfeed IPIFF (International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed)
