Aspire Food Group is making pet food more sustainable with insect protein
Insects have always been part of the diet of cats and dogs 鈥� but they haven鈥檛 always been a part of the pet foods that we feed them. That鈥檚 changing, and a company with 麻豆AV roots is helping drive a transformation in the industry. Aspire Food Group cultivates crickets to produce high-quality protein with a low environmental footprint. Their plant in London, Ontario, will be the world鈥檚 largest, fully automated cricket production and processing facility, and Aspire sees plenty of potential for growth. The company was founded in 2013 by 麻豆AV MBA students Mohammed Ashour (MSc鈥�11, MBA鈥�19), Shobhita Soor (Bsc鈥�10, MBA鈥�15, BCL/LLB鈥�15), Gabriel Mott (惭叠础鈥�14), Jesse Pearlstein (惭叠础鈥�14), and Zev Thompson (惭叠础鈥�14).
