Resumo

Os insetos constituem mais de 50% de todas as espécies conhecidas, desempenhando um papel crucial na biomassa do planeta e fornecendo serviços ecossistêmicos essenciais, como controle biológico, polinização, alimento e bioconversão de matéria orgânica. No contexto dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável das Nações Unidas, os insetos não são apenas fundamentais para a biodiversidade e os ecossistemas, mas também desempenham um papel-chave em aspectos econômicos que vão desde o consumo humano até aplicações em saúde, agricultura e produção de substâncias medicinais. A entomofagia, ou consumo de insetos, é uma prática tradicional em países latino-americanos, como México, Brasil, Equador e Colômbia. No entanto, a produção de insetos como alimento na região ainda está em estágios iniciais, enfrentando desafios em termos de regulamentação, treinamento, divulgação de conhecimentos e colaboração entre instituições públicas e privadas. Foram realizadas pesquisas para avaliar a situação da produção de insetos na América Latina, revelando um interesse crescente em espécies como a mosca soldado negra (Hermetia illucens), o besouro da farinha (Tenebrio molitor) e o grilo doméstico (Acheta domesticus). Foram identificadas iniciativas produtivas dessas espécies em diferentes escalas, mas ainda há falta de experiência relacionada ao seu manejo ou produção. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de maior formação e divulgação de conhecimentos para impulsionar o desenvolvimento dessa indústria emergente na região. Além disso, a falta de legislação relacionada aos insetos para consumo humano e animal demonstra a necessidade de colaboração para avançar em um quadro regulatório de produção, processamento e comercialização dessas espécies.
