Insect consumption has been recorded in Latin American countries, especially in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Mexico. These countries have the highest number of edible insect species in the Americas, which is due to their both biological and cultural diversity. Edible species are consumed both as immature (eggs, larvae, pupae, and nymphs) and, in some cases, as adults. They are consumed whole or in parts, as well as in the products they produce, such as honey, propolis, pollen, and wax. Although insects are recognized for their nutritional contribution, the tradition of eating insects still faces some challenges. For example, the common aversion to edible insects means that a significant amount of animal protein is unavailable to a large proportion of the population. Given its rich biosociodiversity, the habit of eating insects in Latin America as a whole is underestimated. This chapter provides an updated view of entomophagy in Latin America, emphasizing that insects should be considered as renewable resources available for sustainable exploitation to reduce the problem of malnutrition and hunger in many areas of Latin America. An emphasis is made on management practices of collection or gathering and raising directed to procure the availability of desirable organisms.
