Ayieko- a Consumer Economist- is an Associate Professor at the School of Agriculture, Food Security and Biodiversity, Bondo University College. She is the current Director of Quality Assurance at the College. She holds a Ph.D. degree in Family and Consumer Economics from University of Illinois. She served with the Kenya Ministry of Agriculture as household extension worker in Coast, North Eastern, and Nyanza provinces between 1974 and 1983. She also has experience working with both international and local NGOs and serves in several community boards of governors. Her current research work is mainly on edible insects. Prof Ayieko started working with edible insects in 2002 when she realized that there were a lot of edible insects in her village yet people were not keen on using then as human food. Few families collect insects from the natural habitats whenever the long and short rainy seasons set in. Even though, it is mainly children and women from poor homes who collect edible insects. Few other people collect lake flies and black Formicidae ants for their medicinal values. To begin her work on entomophagy, Ayieko used her own meager salary to collect different species of edible insects. She talked to the elderly villagers and gathered more information about the species. She has since regularly collected edible insects for her own family consumption. Apart from the few experiments she did on cooking methods in her own kitchen, she obtained more information from various publications. Getting funds to research on edible insects was not readily forthcoming but eventually the barrier was overcome and obtained her first funding in 2005. After the firsts survey on consumption of edible insects, she quickly noted that many people would like to eat the insects but are not attracted by how the insects look on plates. With the limited laboratory resources at her university and by seeking help from other institutions with conventional food analysis technology, Ayieko has done basic nutritional analysis of edible winged termites (Macrotermes species), lake flies (Chironomus and Chaoborus), longhorn grasshoppers (Ruspolia differens), black formicidae ants (Carebara vidua Smith) which are readily available within the Lake Victoria region. To respond to the wishes of the general consumers, Ayieko has attempted to work on processed products of termites and lake flies and successfully formulated biscuits, crackers, muffins, meatloaf and sausages. The products have been patented in Kenya pending product refinement for the consumer market. To overcome the tedious problem of collecting the insects, she has constructed and tested improved rural technology for collection of termites and lake flies. Since her consistent research on edible insects, Ayieko has received modest research funds from RPSUD, NCST, VicRes. She has presented several papers on edible
