The business of insect farming was supposed to grow big and fast.
In London, Ont., that promise took shape in Aspire Food Group Canada. Billed as the world’s largest cricket farm, it was a 150,000-square-foot, fully automated facility designed to house billions of insects and produce millions of kilograms of protein each year.
Crickets are touted as a low-carbon protein source, requiring less farmland than traditional livestock and offering the potential to address world food insecurity.
No matter I’m sure Liberal party pals made money.
