ENERGY VANGUARD

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF SUPER FOOD FOR SPACE TRAVEL AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD

High-Level Project Summary

At the global level, the agricultural sector contributes to one third of greenhouse gas emissions, due to intensive land use, high demand for water and energy. In Peru this problem is more serious, since the agricultural sector represents almost 70% of greenhouse gas emissions and is the main responsible for the great deforestation of the Amazon.In short, our way of feeding is destructive and not sustainable; We developed a supplement made from esprirulin and maca a root of the Andes of Peru, both are considered among the 10 best foods in the world. We seek to be part of a transition towards sustainable and environmentally responsible encouragement.

Detailed Project Description

We develop foods of the future producing microalgae (spirulina) and Andean roots of Peru (maca).
6 grams of our supplement covers the nutritional demand per day of an adult.
We seek to be part of the transition to sustainable and responsible food.

Hackathon Journey

First, please the organizers of this event at my university, Oscar Medina and the mentors who supported me to develop to present my idea.

Secondly, this is aimed at environmental activism that seeks sustainable food, the future is now and our actions affect us right now.

Finally, to NASA for being at the technological forefront and never forget social communication in third world countries, give us the opportunity to be part of something very big!
