What was once a fringe curiosity is rapidly becoming a frontier of food, materials, and biotech innovation.


Cricket protein powders. Silk-inspired bioplastics. Mealworm-based soil enhancers. Insects are rewriting the playbook on sustainable resources — and reshaping our approach to food security, waste reduction, and climate resilience.


As regulations evolve and mindsets shift, we’re seeing insect-based products move beyond niche markets and into the mainstream.


✹ Why it matters:


  • đŸŒ± Insect proteins are redefining alternative food systems.

  • đŸ§Ș Biofabrication inspired by insect structures is unlocking new materials.

  • ♻ Insects as recyclers create major circular economy wins.

  • 💡 Funding trends show which startups are leading this quiet revolution.



At Fringe to Frontier, we believe what starts at the edge often shapes the future.


Curious to see what’s next? Let’s dive in.
