The local newspaper "Dnevnik" published an article on the fourth page of its weekly edition about the Pro-Sustain Project, led by researchers from the Faculty of Agriculture in Novi Sad, focusing on insects as alternative sources of protein for animal feed. This innovative initiative is testing mealworms grown on organic waste, exploring their potential as an environmentally sustainable and economically viable alternative to traditional proteins such as soy. In addition, the project considers the production of high-quality organic fertilizer from insect excrement, hoping that the results will influence future methods in agricultural production and animal nutrition.
