"Exploring Python as a Sustainable Meat Source for Food Security"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ScienceAlert
A study by international researchers suggests that farming pythons for meat could be a sustainable and efficient response to global food insecurity, as the snakes grow rapidly, consume waste proteins, and have a low food-to-meat ratio compared to conventional livestock. However, challenges such as labor-intensive feeding and societal attitudes towards snakes need to be addressed before python meat becomes a viable food source on a global scale.
