Not sure if you could produce enough insects for the whole wide world or even a country. For animal products, its been demonstrated at large scale. For insects, it has never been done so I'd like to see how it scales, and what kind of problems come from scaling up. Until then, it's just a nice fantasy.

Well, ants and termites together are estimated to have about as much biomass as all cattle, sheep, and goats combined... [1]
