Article Synopsis
- A study in western Kenya involved interviews and focus groups with 211 households to explore the use of beetle grubs as food and animal feed.
- Findings showed that about 39% of households consumed the grubs for their nutritional benefits, while 78% used them for livestock, noting their role in recycling nutrients and improving animal growth.
- Key challenges included a lack of knowledge about the grubs’ nutritional value and associated stigma, but many respondents expressed interest in farming the grubs if support for markets and farming practices were provided.
