Book Chapter
Hawkey, K., Brameld, J., Parr, T., Salter, A., & Hall, H. (2021). Suitability of insects for animal feeding. In H. Hall, E. Fitches, & R. Smith (Eds.), Insects as Animal Feed: Novel Ingredients for Use in Pet, Aquaculture and Livestock Diets (26-38). CAB International. https://doi.org/10.1079/9781789245929.0004

This chapter explores the nutritional composition of insects and the potential benefits and drawbacks for their inclusion into pet, poultry, pig, ruminant and aquatic animal feeds. Six species are most commonly described for use in animal feed, namel... Read More about Suitability of insects for animal feeding..

Extraction of protein from food waste: An overview of current status and opportunities (2021)
Journal Article
Kamal, H., Le, C. F., Salter, A. M., & Ali, A. (2021). Extraction of protein from food waste: An overview of current status and opportunities. Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 20(3), 2455-2475. https://doi.org/10.1111/1541-4337.12739

The chief intent of this review is to explain the different extraction techniques and efficiencies for the recovery of protein from food waste (FW) sources. Although FW is not a new concept, increasing concerns about chronic hunger, nutritional defic...

Combined innovations in public policy, the private sector and culture can drive sustainability transitions in food systems (2021)
Journal Article
Allison, E. H., Moberg, E., Harl, H. K., Arbow, T., Almaraz, M., Dixon, J., …Halpern, B. S. (2021). Combined innovations in public policy, the private sector and culture can drive sustainability transitions in food systems. Nature Food, 2, 282-290. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-021-00261-5

Global food system analyses call for an urgent transition to sustainable human diets but how this might be achieved within the current global food regime is poorly explored. Here we examine the factors that have fostered major dietary shifts across e...
