The gimmick here is, as expected, the hope for subsidies like Big Meat already gets - directly and indirectly (such as the subsidies to grow feed). The pitfalls, as usual when dealing with waste and standards, are that "waste" tends to suck as a feed, so they end up buying feed while screaming that the government should deliver better waste.
Here's a nice report that's pro-industry and shows these hidden aspects:

So, of course, the "salvation tech" of insect farming just ends up as more animal feed ('proteic concentrates'), which is more of a waste than usual since it's adding *another layer of animals* to the artificial trophic levels of the animal farming sector.
There is no logical alternative to eating plants. Eat plants, don't eat animals.
