Chair's statement

The UK edible insect sector is moving from novelty to credibility - grounded in science, innovation and growing commercial traction. We face real regulatory and market challenges, but with clarity, collaboration and high standards, the UK can lead Europe in sustainable protein. UKEIA exists to ensure our members and the wider ecosystem of retailers, policymakers and investors have the confidence to build and back this future.
