Pedro \u00c1lvarez<\/a>, Founder and CEO of -ivoro food innovation lab, tells us what they do in -ivoro, an innovation hub where they help the food industry to accelerate innovation <\/strong>as a process of improvement, change of business model or creation of new products and food. In addition, Pedro is a collaborator of our Akademia innovation program.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

The challenge posed by -ivoro is to answer the question of how to feed the entire current <\/strong>and future population while respecting the planet’s resources. The use of technology in agriculture is one of the possible answers to improve sustainability and reduce food waste<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n

In Pedro’s opinion, Spain is very prepared<\/strong> to produce food, but it needs to innovate <\/strong>to address the challenges that arise for the future of food.<\/p>\n\n

After the examples of Impossible Foods<\/a>, with hamburgers made from vegetables or with meat made in the laboratory, a case of innovation in the food sector in Spain is Mimic Seafood<\/strong>, a startup founded by Pedro that is dedicated to creating plant-based alternatives for seafood,<\/strong> whose demand increases every day and will not be possible to satisfy since the sea is not an inexhaustible source of fish.<\/p>\n\n

The Mimic Seafood product is not an alternative to the animal, it is an alternative for a specific use. In this case, they have created Tunato, a 100% plant-based food that imitates raw tuna in texture and flavor but is made from tomato.<\/strong> It can be used in a wide variety of dishes that use raw tuna: sushi, poke, tartare or ceviche. In fact , you can already try it in a restaurant.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

And you, would you taste the food of the future?<\/p>\n\n

Pedro reminds us that with this type of initiative we can contribute to building a better world. <\/strong>Below, you can watch the full interview:<\/p>\n\n
