Green Queen Media is a slaughter-free impact media platform. As such we do not include verticals like insect protein in our alternative protein reports or the above directory. As Asia’s leading alternative protein news site, our geographical focus is regional by design, covering the ecosystem players of the world’s largest continent exclusively (ie no Pacific).
