Abstract
The emerging edible insect market (for human food and animal feed) has a promising growth potential in Australia. With a long cultural tradition of consuming more than 60 native insect species, strong research capabilities and industry experience, the nascent Australian industry is well positioned to become a leader in the edible insect sector. Here, we highlight the need for an inclusive industry with a focus on enabling Indigenous leadership to join the industry. We also stress the need for new foundational research of native insect species and for investment to support current and new businesses as part of a strategy to grow the industry. Research and business development in this space needs strong Indigenous leadership and guidelines to recognise and protect traditional ownership of culturally eaten insect species. This is to guarantee appropriate knowledge and benefit sharing of Indigenous cultural and intellectual property. This model of prioritising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people participation in Australia may be of use and implemented in other countries to achieve an inclusive industry.
