Aspire Food Group

Aspire is pioneering a movement to produce exceptional quality protein with a small environmental footprint. Founded in 2012 by Mohammed Ashour and Gabe Mott in Montreal, this award-winning social enterprise aims to fight food insecurity and promote healthier lifestyles by farming insects as a source of sustainable and healthy nutrition.
The company farms food-grade crickets on a commercial scale and produces a variety of cricket-based food products, and palm weevil larvae. It also runs a programme enabling peri-rural farmers to raise them locally.
