1. Edible insects biodiversity : Four main orders of edible insects
Orthoptera (17.6%)
Coleoptera (9.7%)
Lepidoptera (46.7%)
Isoptera (18.6%)

2.1. Interest 1: contribution to poverty alleviation
Men (3%)
Women (97%)
The Key people who market insects as food are mostly women ;
The income generated contributes to the well being of households;
Empowerment of women.
2. Interests

2.2. Interest 2: contribution to food security
o 80% of the population eat at least one specie of insects5 days per month;
o The main reason of eating insects is the intake of protein and fat.

2.3. Interest 3: contribution to preserving biodiversity and human health
Insect species are really abundant and some (in particular caterpillars) could be considered as pests;
Eating insects help reduce pressure on busmeat and footprint due to intensive livestock;
No diseases transmissible to humans (so far).

3.1. Issues 1: No rigorous taxonomic matching - need of tools and applications
3. Issues

There is a mine of data but scientists need training to standards and digitization tools and methods
3.2. Technology and Training gap but urgency of sharing bio-data

3.3. Risk on threatened insect species or species eaten to extinction
Need of highly visual tools to identify them

4.1. International collaboration (with RMCA, GBIF, …) is very Helpful
![Page 10: Edible insects and Food security in DR Congo – Papy Nsevolo Miankeba, – Rudy Caparros Megido, – Christophe Blecker, – Sabine Danthine, – Paul Aman, – Eric](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c7b5503460f9492faf5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

4.1 The standards and workflow of TDWG are fruitful : please keep it on mind !
