Chiara started her journey with the 3D Essence Food team one year ago, as Sustainability Intern, to carry out her Master Thesis in the field of freeze-drying technology. Achieving global food and water security is a multifaceted challenge, therefore with her studies background in food system management and her interest in current global challenges, she would like to blend business approach with sustainable vision in the food system.

As a determined person, she believes that we can make a big contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.

In this regard, the 3D Essence Food R&D department is working according to the philosophy that every resource turns into a nutrient for nature, society and industry. Good for you, with high nutrition and health benefits and good for the planet, being environmentally sustainable is the key added value of Essence Food.

Therefore, Marcio’s foodtech company represents world reference for projects that share the belief to solve food insecurity issues, while reducing the carbon and water footprint.

Through one of the most efficient methods of freeze-drying process, 3D Essence Food tailor-makes its products for clients according to their nutritional requirements and focuses on the enhancement of fruits and vegetables losses, perfectly still fit for human consumption, in order to recover value from what would otherwise end up in landfills.

It’s not only a matter of the quantity of calories indeed, but also the quality of nutrients: fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of essential biocompounds useful to face on one hand the global dietary deficiencies, on the other hand the desire for new healthy and sustainable food formats.
