It’s basically space and time isn’t it. How many crickets occupy the space of a cow?
Pretty sure you're right.
These guys claim to be doing it at a lower unit price than some whey protein producers.

I'm just mulling this over because one of my clients (who are invested in agritech) is looking for ideas for something innovative to do with a large empty warehouse that they have in Sidcup. They've been looking at various indoor growing ideas for a while but haven't quite landed on an idea they want to go with. I think one of the local breweries was going to take it before the pandemic.

The product I am after is ground insect as an additive for soups.
I had roasted scorpion in Beijing and it was fucking delicious. Like the crispy skin of a roast chicken. In my dream scenario I will heat up whatever vegan friendly soup is on offer, but then add a scoop or two of bug powder to add the meaty savoury richness you struggle to get from veg alone. In my imagination the bug powder is fairly gelatinous so dissolves after a bit of stirring. In addition to the flavour enhancement, I would be getting a decent amount of animal protein without having to glug down a shake.
My concern with cricket farming is mostly food safety. How do I know the bugs live clean and healthy lives inside your client's warehouse? Much easier to tell with established methods of farming.
