Aspire Food Group announced that it has completed construction of its alternative protein manufacturing facility that will reportedly produce 9000 metric tons of crickets every year for human and pet consumption. The plant is located in London.
Crickets are high in fiber and are considered a protein-rich superfood, and have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional protein sources.
The plant is slated to come online this fall and boasts four first-of-a-kind newly developed technologies; an automated storage retrieval system (ASRS), a new type of HVAC system, a 5G IoT network, and an AI solution that’s been recognized by UNESCO.
