Would you munch on a cricket? | Innovation
Animal agriculture and meat
production are some of the most polluting industries in the world, but many people still crave for animal-derived protein.
In the past few years, more and more emerging startups globally have begun to specialize in the production of insect food, for humans and for our pets. Neat!

| 🦗
The global market value of edible insects is expected to grow from about 406 million USD in 2018 to over 1.18
billion USD by 2023.

Here are a few startups taking advantage of this growing market:
- Entis and Exo Protein: These companies offer cricket-based protein-rich snacks.
👉 Check out Entis (Finland) here and EXO (USA) here.
- Illegal Oats: This Colorado company integrates ento powder (made from mealworms) into their all-natural granola.
👉 Check out their website here.
- Jiminy's and Tomojo: These businesses combine insect protein and plant-based ingredients into their nutritious (and sustainable!) pet food.
