"Python Farming: A Sustainable Solution for the Meat Industry"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists suggest that python meat could be a sustainable and efficient protein alternative for human consumption due to the snakes' ability to fast, low space and water requirements, and minimal waste production. Python farming is well-established in Asia but has yet to take off in other regions, offering potential benefits in controlling rodent pests and upcycling waste products from other meat industries. However, the limited understanding of keeping thousands of snakes in captivity and human fear toward snakes remain as hurdles to putting python meat on dinner plates.
