2. Baked goods made from insects
The world population is currently growing by 83 million a year, with forecasts predicting that by 2030 – a mere 11 years away, the human population will reach 8.3 billion. As high population growth threatens food security, some countries, including the US, are looking towards insects as alternative food sources.
Although the mere thought of eating bugs may instantly give you the heebie jeebies, insect protein is becoming popular with environmentally-conscious consumers looking to eat less beef and chicken. As an alternative food source, insects require less water, emit little greenhouse gasses and still pack a punch in the protein department.
Which is where Bitty Foods comes in. Bitty Foods makes baked goods, like crunchy cookies … all from cricket flour. The crickets are bought from US and Canadian cricket farms, they are humanely killed and dry roasted and milled into flour.
