Chapul
The 2-year-old company Chapul has found a sweetspot in the growing protein craze. Instead of resource-intensive beef or potentially GMO soy, the company taps into insects to provide a sustainable, water-efficient source of protein for its tasty nutrition bars.
This company is a leader in changing people’s minds about insects as a revolutionary protein source. These bugs could potentially play a huge role in feeding the world’s soon-to-be 9 billion inhabitants while simultaneously preserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.
