Insects are going to have a major contribution to food and feed security says Priyadarsanan Dharma Rajan, senior fellow at Bengaluru based Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE).
Insects comprise at least 85% of biodiversity and play the most important roles in the sustenance of the biosphere said Priyadarsanan Dharma Rajan who added that loss or reduction of any important taxa of the insects can cause a cascade effect on the ecosystem.
