Cricket farming

Vertical-bin rearing of Acheta domesticus and related crickets on plant-based feed streams, reaching harvest weight in six to eight weeks with a fraction of livestock's land and water footprint.

Where it's used

Insect protein snacks for human consumption
Cricket bars, mealworm snacks, cricket pasta and chips — high-protein (~65%) insect-based snacks positioned on a fraction of the land, water and feed of conventional protein, led by a consolidated European specialist-brand set (Jimini's, Crické, Seek, Sens) and Chapul after several US high-profile failures.
