CONNECTEM EURECAT

Km0 foods with a social perspective.

CONNECTEM optimises nutritionally improved products using local ingredients in different applications such as vegetable creams, meat derivatives and dehydrated products.

The project responds to the need for social inclusion of a segment of the population, promoting the development of new foods using ingredients of high nutritional value from organic and regenerative Km0 agriculture.

This new range of products will be framed in the use of local plant-based raw materials with high protein content.

In addition to developing new innovative food products with differentiated nutritional and sensory quality, prioritszing the sustainability of the process throughout the chain, CONNECTEM creates new jobs by adapting production technological processes to people with disabilities or at risk of social exclusion.

Eurecat participates in the project through its Nutrition and Health Unit.
