The paper "Promoting Entomophagy to Enhance Food Security and Nutrition in Kenya," published in The International Journal of Progressive Research in Science and Engineering, highlights the potential of edible insects (entomophagy) as a solution to food insecurity and malnutrition in Kenya. It discusses how consuming insects can address key challenges in food security, such as sustainability, availability, and environmental conservation. The paper identifies barriers like inadequate legal frameworks, negative consumer perceptions, and high financial costs. Policy recommendations include promoting legal support for insect farming, raising awareness, and investing in research.
