The Impact of Insects on Global Food Security and Biodiversity Conservation

Abstract

Entomology, the scientific study of insects, is a crucial field with profound impacts on our daily lives, yet it often goes unnoticed. Insects, with approximately 10 million species described and estimates suggesting there could be up to 30 million species, represent the most diverse group of organisms on Earth. They play essential roles in ecosystems, from pollinating plants and decomposing organic matter to serving as food for other creatures. Understanding insects' role is critical not only for scientific advancement but also for preserving biodiversity and protecting human health.
