A booming strategic sector that requires the adoption of new technologies
Superfood is a term that refers to foods that offer maximum nutritional benefits with minimal calories. These superfoods have been cultivated and harvested in Ecuador for decades. Quinoa, lupin beans, barley, and pitahaya are foods that have always been staples in Ecuadorian households. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the urgent need to boost consumers' immune systems, investment in the superfood sector increased globally during this period.
Undoubtedly, a booming strategic sector like superfoods requires the adoption of new technologies. Innovation is essential for specialization and competitiveness; however, innovation isn't for just one player. Collaboration is key to sharing experiences and developing new and effective solutions that have a real impact in these areas of specialization.
At CEDIA we understand that this collaboration is essential for the development of this strategic sector. Therefore, we work to bridge the gap between academia and industry. One example of this is our agreement with the Technical University of Ambato and Lupwi Ecuador, a company that revives ancestral Andean superfoods to develop healthy and delicious foods that offer a nutritious alternative.
We invite you to learn more about this innovative and healthy project, which focuses on the power of Andean foods.
