This chapter covers advances in production of crickets as food and animal feed. Cricket farming is a rapidly growing agribusiness, coupled to the rising demand for alternative proteins for food and feed. This review highlights the status and emerging gaps in cricket farming, processing, nutritional composition, safety and application. The cricket farming industry is highly profitable and the prices for farmed insect products remain high, though becoming more competitive, as the industry matures. Advanced continental or global regulatory framework is urgently needed. Evidence suggests that although the industry is still in its infancy, this eco-friendly cricket-based technology is already benefitting people of all age groups across the world.
