Hunger is on the rise in Nigeria and the underdeveloped countries. There is a massive problem of protein malnutrition and food shortages (Semba, 2016). The number of undernourished people has increased from around 804 million people in 2016 to around 821 million in 2017 and is worsening in developing nations of the world (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2019). The increase in the population of people had led to a higher demand for food. Furthermore, there is a dwindling economic crisis across the globe, especially in Africa and other developing countries (Kearney, 2010). Foods, if available, are not affordable. This has placed many people in a state where accessibility to regular food becomes difficult and unaffordable. This creates a need for a cheaper and affordable food source (Tacoli, 2017; Kimani-Murage et al., 2014). Corn (Zea mays) is farmed as an everyday staple across the Savannah regions of Africa. Corn is cheap but deficient in proteins (Nuss & Tanumihardjo, 2011). This could be improved by supplementing cornflour with cricket (Acheta gossypii) proteins. Crickets are available, but underutilized (Stull et al., 2018). Since corn is cheap and crickets are available, protein malnutrition, as well as food shortages, could be reduced by supplementing cornflour with cricket (Gunaratna et al., 2019; Henchion et al., 2017).
