Insect farming might not be the climate-crisis solution we think it is

We're constantly aware of our impact on the environment now, and scientists are thinking of new ways in which we can lessen that impact. One such way we can fight climate change is through relying on insect farming for our food.

However, as Wired has recently discovered, there may be a slight problem with that. As trillions of insects are being bred every year in order to be turned into tasty treats, more investigative work has been done to see if there's an ethical problem with this.

It turns out, we could be facing a true moral dilemma if we find out that insects can feel pain and suffer. If this is the case, insect farming could be as ethically flawed as farming chickens, pigs, and fish for food.

Whether this will stop insect farming completely is unknown, but it would likely cause scientists looking for a solution to the world's food crisis to look somewhere else.
