The government said the $8.5 million investment for Aspire was “to support the building of a commercial facility to produce cricket protein.”

The government said they choose the company to invest in because “Aspire’s goal to tackle global food scarcity led to its focus on edible insect production, which can provide high volumes of nutritious food with a low environmental footprint.”
