The 2018 book "Edible Insects in Sustainable Food Systems" notes that as of 2017 there were 28 "North American companies marketing insect products to consumers".^[2] --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:45, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's very interesting! How about adding these informations into the articles insects as feed, insects as food and maybe insect farming. AlienFood (talk) 12:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AlienFood: Could do that, but my primary focus was in noting the potential for this category. I'm doing some editing in this topic space as a secondary to looking at Crik Nutrition from a wikiproject:companies point of view. Most of my editing in the encyclopedia is around companies, with a focus on pharma, publishers and interesting technologies. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:16, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
