Purpose
Aspire pioneers precision insect farming at scale through the power of technology to enable innovative industries to create products and materials that prioritize health and sustainability. Combining self-optimizing AI with modular farming, Aspire efficiently cultivates versatile insect ingredients. Our offerings include a complete protein source (with prebiotic fiber and other nutrients) with infinite applications for people and pets. Our by-product, frass, becomes a natural and potent enhancer of soil and plant growth. This project evaluates novel pet food diets formulated with cricket protein and investigates the health benefits for cats and dogs.
