Abstract
The population growth in recent years has significant implications for food security due to the increasing demand for food. Therefore, exploring alternative options for producing high-quality, nutritionally rich food for both human and animal consumption is important. In addition, insect waste or frass can be utilized as a source of fertilizer or bio-stimulant in crops due to its high nitrogen content. Thus, the objective of this review is to systematize information on insect production as an alternative source of protein for human and animal consumption, as well as to contribute to the search for organic sources of nutrients for the soil through the use of insect waste (frass) obtained during their production as a bio-stimulant, elicitor, or fertilizer. This contributes to the development of sustainable agriculture. Due to the advantages of insect production as a potential source of protein and nutrients, significant opportunities for growth are opening up in the industrial sector through the production of food for human and animal consumption. This sustainable alternative contributes to food security. Moreover, the agricultural sector benefits from utilizing insect frass as a byproduct, serving as a bio-stimulant, organic fertilizer, or pesticide substitute, promoting plant growth and increasing their tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses.
