Insect breeding is a fast-growing industry that requires a vibrant support community and tailored-to-need genetics research related to everything from genetic diversity and population structure, phenotyping, breeding objectives, to estimation of breeding values in insects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists working on various insect species and aspects of insect breeding, to present state-of-the-art research, spur debate across species and fields, and to train new generation of insect breeders.
The EAAP workshop is organized in tight collaboration with Insect-IMP COST Action that strives to connect edible and non-edible insects, academia and industry, as well as insect and livestock breeding to transfer knowledge to support insect genetic improvement to enhance food security and sustainability while reducing environmental impact.
