As a booming field, edible insect industry is developing quickly in the world especially in the western world and Thailand. The new food are assisting the growth of a large number of start-ups producing insect-based food like insect candy, flour, pasta and other types of food.

A Green Social Project

Edible insect is not only meant to be a business, but also a social project. Cricket is rich in proteins, vitamins and mineral elements, therefore we consider it a major enhancement for healthy food consumption. But above all, the cricket is one of the most sustainable types of protein.

For instance, crickets need little food and water (1,000 times less than a cow) and they grow quickly. They only require 2 kg of feed to make a 1 kg of protein, while a cow needs 10 kg. Clearly, they convert food into protein in a much more effective way than any other farm animal.

The percentages of greenhouse gas emission from insect farming are hugely less than livestock farming which is the largest contributor to global greenhouse emissions at 18%. These are some of the reasons why the United Nations and other international institutions are pushing towards the diffusion of this food source.
