Abstract
Climate change has escalated into a global problem owing to its devastating impact on agriculture and food security. More specifically, climate change has triggered extreme weather events which have affected the overall agricultural sustainability, either negatively or positively, with the former outdoing the latter. This has led to a concomitant nutritional imbalance and health challenges in the human population, particularly in developing countries. Further, a nutritional imbalance and high feed prices is being felt in the animal feed production chain, due to over reliance on conventional raw material and/or ingredients, which further negatively affects livelihood incomes. Edible insects have recently gained a lot of attention, as one of the strategies to curb food/feed and nutrition insecurity due to its several already documented benefits. This review discusses how climate change has affected food and cash crop production, together with animal production, the resulting human nutritional imbalances and the impact climate change has on edible insects. Several factors on the benefits of promotion and adoption of edible insects as food and feed have also been discussed, with an inclination towards their role in curbing global warming, while alleviating the global challenge of food and nutrition insecurity, currently and in the future.
