World population growth, rising demand for meat, and decreasing availability of land and water resources for farming mean there is an urgent need for alternative protein sources that are nutritious and environmentally sustainable. Edible insects, such as crickets, are emerging as one viable alternative. Cricket farming requires fewer resources and emits fewer greenhouse gases than livestock such as cattle. Readers interested in the logistics of small-scale cricket farming should hop to this comprehensive manual published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in collaboration with Thailand's Khon Kaen University. The first part of the manual focuses on farming and covers rearing, feeding, propagating, harvesting, and storing crickets, plus other essentials such as waste management and labor. Readers looking to learn more about crickets as livestock can swarm the helpful FAQ section (pages 39-40) and Appendix 1.1: Biology of Crickets (pages 42-47), which illustrates some types of crickets and their life cycles. The second part of the manual covers regulation and inspection of cricket farms and is summarized in a flowchart in Appendix 2.1 (page 65) and an inspection checklist in Appendix 2.2 (pages 67-71). Bug appetit!
