Abstract
This paper examines the food potential of edible insects, and the implications for development policy. It is based on a study undertaken by FAO in 2003, which drew on four case studies in the Congo Basin sub-region. The paper identifies research gaps and gives policy recommendations for forest managers, conservationists, nutritionists and rural development workers to help them incorporate forest-gathered insects in food security and forest conservation strategies.
