Evaluation de L’entomophagie dans Quatre Grandes Villes de Côte d’Ivoire

L'entomophagie qui consiste à la consommation des insectes par l‘Homme n'est pas un phénomène inaccoutumé. Elle est impulsée aujourd’hui par la FAO comme étant une source alternative durable de protéine animale pour la consommation humaine à cause de la forte croissance de la population mondiale d’ici à 2050 qui atteindra les 9 milliards d‘habitants. Cependant, elle fait face à de nombreuses contraintes dues au manque d’information du secteur. Ainsi, dans l’intérêt de lever tout équivoque sur l’entomophagie, cette étude fut menée et dont l’objectif était d’identifier les différents types d’insectes et les stéereootypes liés à la consommation pour une meilleure valorisation afin de lutter contre l'insécurité alimentaire en Côte d’Ivoire. A cet effet, une enquête de terrain pilotée dans 4 villes différentes (Daloa, Man, Bouaké, Korhogo) auprès de la population a permis de mettre en lumière les freins et les motivations de sa consommation en Côte d’ivoire. En effet, 1806 personnes ont été interrogées et il en ressort que 60,46% sont entomophages et sont constitués de personnes de tout âge, de toutes les professions. La consommation de ces insectes était fortement motivée par l’arôme (38%). Par ailleurs, l’indisponibilité (42,51%), l’aspect (37%) et ajoutés à la méconnaissance (12%) sont autant de facteurs limitant la pratique de l’entomophagie en Côte d’Ivoire. A l’état actuel, 11 espèces sont identifiées comme comestibles dont la plus prisée est la larve du Rhynchophorus phoenicis et la plus consommée le termite ailé Macrotermes subhyalinus du fait de sa plus grande disponibilité. Entomophagy which consists in the consumption of insects by humans is not an unusual phenomenon. It is promoted today by the FAO as a sustainable alternative source of animal protein for human consumption because of the strong growth of the world population by 2050 which will reach 9 billion inhabitants. However, it faces many constraints due to the lack of information in the sector. Thus, in the interest of clearing up any ambiguity on entomophagy, this study was carried out, the objective of which was to identify the different types of insects and the stereootypes linked to consumption for a better valuation in order to fight against the food insecurity in Côte d'Ivoire. To this end, a field survey piloted in 4 different towns (Daloa, Man, Bouaké, Korhogo) among the population shed light on the obstacles and motivations for their consumption in Côte d'Ivoire. Indeed, 1806 people were interviewed and it emerged that 60.46% are entomophagous made up of people of all ages, from all professions. Consumption of these insects was strongly motivated by aroma (38%). In addition, unavailability (42.51%), appearance (37%) and added to ignorance (12%) are all factors limiting the practice of entomophagy in Côte d'Ivoire. At present, 11 species are identified as edible, the most popular of which is the larva of Rhynchophorus phoenicis and the most consumed is the winged termite Macrotermes subhyalinus due to its greater availability.

Aim: It consisted to identify the different species of traditional leafy vegetables consumed, to follow the technical process of production and to specifically evaluate the risk of microbial contamination of Amaranth from urban production in Daloa. Study Design: This study focuses on the consumption of traditional leafy vegetables. Place and Duration of Study: University of Jean Lorougnon Guédé of Daloa, Côte d’Ivoire, Laboratory of Biochemistry and Microbiology, UFR Agroforestry, BP 150 Daloa, between November 2018 and April 2019. Methodology: On the study site, three planks of amaranth leave constituted a study block (sample). A total of 18 samples were analyzed. Then, mature Amaranth, ready for sale and then consumed, were subjected to microbiological characterization according to the standards. Results: There are seven main species of leafy vegetables consumed by Daloa populations and Amaranth is one of the most widely consumed leaves. The monitoring of production of these vegetables revealed that many of the actors were adults (> 30 years old), dominated by the female gender (63 %) and illiterate (70 %). The inputs were poultry manure, a mixture of dung and beef purse. In addition, the technical production routes were empirical. Microbiological analyzes of Amaranth leaf from selected areas showed a high level of bacterial contamination. Including indicator of general pollution like mesophilic aerobic germs, yeasts and molds, enterobacteria and indicator of fecal origin were isolated. It has been noticed the presence of pathogenic species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp in all productions. Conclusion: Amaranth leaves produced in this area aren’t suitable for human consumption and could create some sanitary risk.

Lack Of Information

Climate change which is considered as a threat to biodiversity, causes paradoxical situations everywhere it manifests itself. These include, among others, drought and desertification; floods and storms; sea level rise, reduction of the vegetation cover; water supply sources and, animal and plant species disappearance. In Korhogo, in the North of Côte d’Ivoire, the climate variability and environmental change phenomena are perceived and described by the population. A qualitative approach with historical and comparative analysis tools are used in this study to focus on the perceptions of the populations through indicators of both climate variability and environmental changes. It also analyses the major challenges the population will face, which are mainly related to alteration in farming practices and seasons, loss of production, and extension of the lean period, the risk of food insecurity and conflicts related to the exploitation and the distribution of water resources; and mostly, to the lack of information- educationcommunication on the phenomenon. On the whole, although the study brings out an awareness about climate variability and environmental changes, it especially show the need for emergent multidimensional actions for effective response strategies to the changes observed in the area.
