Business Idea
Crick&Crack is a healthy snack company that leverages the nutritional benefits of crickets to create a sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional snack foods. Crickets are a rich source of protein, and their cultivation has a significantly smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional livestock production. By using crickets as the main ingredient in their crackers, Crick&Crack provides consumers with a delicious and healthy snack option that also supports a more sustainable and environmentally conscious way of life. The company is working to raise awareness about the benefits of insects as a source of protein and to promote a shift towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly food system.
Problem Statement
The high demand for animal protein is a major contributor to the problem of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

These emissions are contributing to the growing problem of climate change, and it is essential that we reduce our consumption of animal protein and seek out alternative sources of protein that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
