The former CEO of Cisco said that cricket powder is the next form of protein. Former CEO of Cisco John Chambers is investing in Aspire Food Group. I recently interviewed Aspire Food Group’s Gabe Mott for an upcoming podcast.
Chambers is an investor in robotic cricket farm operator Aspire Food Group. The company uses “proprietary sensor technology and internet-of-things to capture real-time data on our insects,” according to its website. The Texas-based commercial cricket farm produces and sells cricket granola, cricket flour and whole roasted crickets. “Our bodies digest protein from insects or meat much easier than we do from traditional plants,” Chambers said. “The majority of the protein that we absorb 10 years from now will be from insects.”
