Domesticated animals’ production produces ozone harming substance outflows, causes land use change, expects about 33% of the world's arable land for feed, and is a drain on water supplies. Edible insects are a decent source of protein, unsaturated fats, nutrients, and minerals; however, the healthful profile can fluctuate broadly among species. This makes them a potential food source for healthy human diets. In India, entomophagy is meagrely practiced by the native inhabitants of Kerala, Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and for an enormous scope by the tribal communities of north-eastern India especially among the tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Meghalaya. According to their customs, tastes, and geographical and seasonal availability, many Indian tribes consume about 250 species of edible insects. Therefore, research into insect species may have economic repercussions and enable nations like India to consider methods for utilising this vast natural resource sustainably.
