[ilaksh]

If there really isn't a way to do even small scale fish or eggs efficiently then we don't need to eat insects if that isn't part of our culture. There are plenty of other satisfying ways to get adequate protein, such as nuts and beans. Hundreds of millions of people live healthy lives without meat or insects.

An approach to making it more tractable to meet food needs is to integrate it back into our urban/suburban environments and take advantage of advanced indoor farming which can be carefully monitored and tended by humans or robots, which can dramatically reduce resource usage for agriculture and greatly improve land use.
