dc.description.abstractThis study adopted morphological and molecular analysis to identify edible grasshoppers and their associated food host plants in Kenya and Uganda. Host plants were identified through molecular analysis of the gut contents of the grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are among the most popular edible insects in East Africa. As an alternative protein, they contribute to improved nutrition and food security, livelihoods, and employment. The study provides a detailed breakdown of morphometric data and species identification factors along with sequencing, identification and phylogenetic analysis of plant and insect DNA.en
