Report of the organization of international agricultural research confirms the world's largest, by 2050, food production will have to increase by 60% to catch up with climate change and global population growth.

Recently, experts discovered that milk is the nutrition cockroaches hidden because it contains high protein. This is considered a valuable food source - help cool the food crisis in the world today.

In a recent study, groups of experts have put the project in arranging producing crystal protein genes in the insects' milk. The study is believed to be a breakthrough, there are extremely important significance as it helps scientists produce large amounts of this nutrient rich products.
Sanchari Banerjee - who participated in the study, said: "These crystals are like milk 1 complete foods. They contain protein, fat, sugar and all the essential amino acids."
Still, the team has no plans to turn milk into a commercial product portfolio, although they have succeeded in the production of these crystals.
