• Produce foods without agricultural lands, it´s possible

The Re-Circulation of wine by-product, to produce FOOD, or raw material rich in "fiber and antioxidants" With high nutritional value and health functional benefits.

Fight against "HUNGER AND OBESITY" suffered by billions of people on the planet. According to the study carried out by the WHO and FAO, today there are 821 million people in the world suffering from famine. Of which 150 million are MALNOURISHED children.

At the opposite extreme, 1.9 billion people are overweight. Of which 340 million are children and youth suffering from obesity.

The effects of climate change and global warming will reduce the AGRICULTURAL SURFACE in the next 30 years.

But the population will exceed 9000 million inhabitants. IT IS URGENT START TO PRODUCE FOOD WITHOUT AGRICULTURAL LAND

1. The gigantic disposition of by-products of the wine industry (Skin and seeds) that historically has treated this by-product as waste. It submits them to passive solarization, to compost and fertilize agricultural and vineyards. Today we want to add value to the industry "Recirculating this by-product, to produce foods of high nutritional value and functional attributes.(Wine production in Chile-2019,Info SAG.) discarded 700 million kg. by-products.-
2. 34.4% of the Chilean population over 15 years old have high obesity
   rates. In Latin America, obesity affects 96 million adults (FAO).The 2009-2010 National Health Survey identified the eight risk factors in the Chilean population: High consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Arterial hypertension. High body mass index (BMI). High cholesterol, high glucose in the blood And !! Low consumption of fruits and vegetables !!
3. The Recirculation of wine by-products, to produce powder flours rich in "fiber and antioxidants" With high nutritional value and health functional benefits. Incorporated fiber and antioxidants in baked and processed products (cereal bars, cookies, snacks) and others for mass consumption. It will facilitate the incorporation of fiber and antioxidants necessary to improve health.

1. Industrial scale production of raw material powder, and gluten-free flours, with high fiber content and antioxidants. Proteins, vitamins and minerals, preservative substances, dyes and natural sugars that come from the grape (Vitis vinifera).This material was created at the Center for Molecular Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Chile and the industrial secret is applied in our production process
2. Health problems and the development of chronic diseases in the population, generated by a diet rich in sugars, saturated fats and with little or no dietary fiber consumption. What has caused a sustained increase in levels of overweight and obesity in recent decades. That has triggered the metabolic síndrome (characterized by abdominal obesity- high triglycerides- low HDL cholesterol- high blood pressure- and high blood sugar) and the development of chronic diseases in the population.
3. Quempin SpA , Experts in innovation technologies, combustion systems and process engineering. With them we are working on the design of thermal drying plants with a rotating drum and high-density gas burners to dry and process large volumes of material.(Professionals and teachers, who work in research at the Federico Santa María Technical University in Valparaíso). 

1. 34.4% of the Chilean population over 15 years old have high obesity rates. In Latin America, obesity affects 96 million adults (FAO).The 2009-2010 National Health Survey identified the eight risk factors in the Chilean population: High consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Arterial hypertension. High body mass index (BMI). High cholesterol, high glucose in the blood. Low consumption of fruits and vegetables. Physical inactivity. Factors that cause 61% of deaths from cardiovascular diseases in Chile.
2. High fiber and antioxidant content "bound". Present in this material. It has a catalytic effect on the proliferation of free radicals in the process of metabolizing food substrates, rich in saturated fats. This inhibits metabolic syndrome and colon cancer and stops the development of chronic diseases.
3. During 2019-2020, we have carried out tests with the addition of grape flours, in collaboration with the largest bread manufacturers in the metropolitan region "obtaining excellent results". Baked goods are high consumption products in Chile (96.3% of the population, declare consuming them daily, INE-2018). This allows us to facilitate the consumption of fiber and antioxidants present in the flour. for the 96.3% of the population.

The dominant consumers at present are the "Z" generation, with consumption habits centered on healthy foods, with functional attributes for health. They prefer highly nutritious products "cereal bars, snacks or supplements" (substitutes for prepared foods) and with production standards with a low CO2 footprint and minimal impact on the environment. This following the trend of the Millennial generation. who developed widely spread vegan and vegetarian diets around the world today. Our food product does not require an agricultural area; It has plant-based protein and is produced with a low CO2 footprint and minimal environmental impact.

This process associated with vitis vinifera (flour) powder, was developed in the laboratories of the Center for Molecular Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University of Chile. Who through thermal tests of temperature and exposure, tests of micronized profiles and biotechnological studies. They obtained a material rich in fiber and antioxidants. This technological process "protected with an industrial patent". We will scale it to industrial production. The large volumes of organic material available each year, the wine production, requires the development of thermal drying plants with rotating drums and high-density burners for fuel gas, which allows permanent monitoring of the parameters to ensure the bio-availability of substances and nutrients in the final flours or material.

Our´s associated Quempin SpA.  Have developed a technology for high-density burners for gas combustion, and have obtained high efficiency in the industrial processes implemented. Its team of professionals works as researchers and teachers at the Federico Santa María Technical University at Valparaiso city.

The gigantic disposition of by-products of the wine industry "Skin and seeds" that historically has treated this by-product as waste. It submits them to passive solarization, to compost and fertilize agricultural land and vineyards.

Today we have a great opportunity to process large volumes of grape bagasse, available to produce foods rich in fiber and antioxidants.Organic material with high nutritional value generated by the wine industry, available in each harvest, to be processed.

"The 2019-Chile wine production scrapped, approximately 700 million kg. Wine by-products (Skin and seeds). With that volume, we could produce 450 million kg of powdered flours, or food additives.

 “Without intervening agricultural land”.

“Re-circulating by-products and produce food with a low CO2 footprint”

In the long term, we want to build in Chile and Australia a productive infrastructure to dry and process these by-products (grape skin and seed) and guarantee a food source in proportion to the global food shortage that will affect the planet. As a consequence of global warming, climate change and the demographic explosion.

Our work focuses on providing the food industry with this raw material to facilitate the consumption of fiber and antioxidants it contains. Incorporating this additive in bakery and processed foods (Cerals, Snaks, and others).

This will contribute to improving people's health, reducing risk factors (high blood pressure. Fasting blood glucose. High cholesterol. Type II diabetes and development of cardiovascular diseases).

In Chile, 35.3% of the population suffers from some form of metabolic syndrome (6,203,623 people), results of the 2017 census. In Latin America, obesity affects 96 million adults (FAO). In the world 1.9 billion people are overweight. Of which 340 million are children and youth suffering from obesity (OMS-FAO).

Our evaluations and validations of powdered flour in the bakery market (2019-2020), showed expectations very high. Because 96.3% of households in Chile consume some type of bread, 95Kg per capita per year and 91.5%, consume bread in bulk (INE-2018).

We are currently developing tests in the processed food industry (nutritional bars, snacks, cookies, and others) that must include a healthy between meals for schoolchildren. With fiber, antioxidants, and high nutritional value. In Chile there is a labeling law (20.060-SSMS) that requires for all these products for school consumption, to be free of saturated fats and sugars in a high proportion.

In Chile, the healthy food market has a volume of USD3 billion, as indicated in volume 2 of the Healthy Chile study (opportunities and challenges of innovation- 2013 Fundación Chile). In the same way, this study indicates that this category grew at a rate of 14.6% per year.

In five years?..............Today there are 821 million people in the world suffering from famine. Of which 150 million are MALNOURISHED children.

For the next year 2021 we want to respond to the demand for prime matter (vitis vinifera powder) to develop the production of nutraceuticals, (glycemic regulator for diabetic patients). In conjunction with the Center for Molecular Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of the Catholic University. And Knopp Chile SA laboratories

Implement the collaboration agreement reached with Molinos Linderos SA, to process the “dry” organic material from vineyards in the Maipo-owned by Viña Concha y Toro (estimated at 850 tons) and process it as flour, to obtain approximately 500,000 kg of product.

Obtain an investment partner to finance the start-up of the plant operation in Limarí (Tololo wine cellars) IV region, Coquimbo. Which will process approximately 500tons: and strengthen the financial structure of the operation in the province of Maipo Metropolitan Region.

Finance the development and design of mobile thermal drying plants with high-density burners to operate in the wine production plants of Concha y Toro vineyards in the Curicó VI region and in the central valley, region V. All this development will be in charge of the professional group of our associate Quempin SpA.

1. The first financial barrier in Chile is related to access to credit. Banking is discriminatory when evaluating working capital for an startup enterprise. they Evaluating commercial and personal aspects of all and demanding unattainable guarantees to present. Impregnated in this context,local investors react stealthily and using the same criteria they for evaluate the initiatives and propose long time to decide “normally, over a year”. This delays the act of making decisions for the leader and his team (part-time) and finally pushes to abort the initiative or project. 
2. Regarding technical barriers, the most significant is the complexity in the drying processes of organic material, due to two factors: 1. Large volumes of material, and 2. High humidity of the material.
3. Like all products, the market is a decisive factor: and it generates the rejection of new incoming products that need to open spaces. I think that the final berrera "lives or dies" in the attempt.

1. My response to this overwhelming reality. It has been CONGREGATE to many public and private entities that are endorsing and supporting the project and recommending its evaluation in different investment spheres. Currently (June,2020).This has allowed me to attract the attention of StarUp investors and accelerators. I believe and have high expectations in the large Solve community, to get the attention of investors to scale the next five years.
2. The answer to these complexities has been sought and found together with suitable professional teams with extensive experience in industrial process research.
3. Know and experience in my life the failure in many initiatives and projects.I can work on a daily basis prospecting opportunities and alternatives for niche markets, the pharmaceutical industry, food supplements.

We are focused on taking advantage of the abundance of organic matter (by-product of the wine) rich in fiber content and antioxidants. High nutritional value and functional attributes for people's health. Raw material for the mass consumption food industry and powdered flours to produce baked goods and healthy foods.

We have focused on the bakery food industry, through collaboration agreements to incorporate this flour into their products. Obtaining good results of flavor, texture and aroma. They have high expectations. And we bet on the high consumption of bread in Chile (96.3% of the population).

We are also making progress with processed foods (cereal bars, sacks and others). Through collaboration agreements, we have conducted tests on products with excellent results and we are close to carrying out the first batch of products at an industrial level for the Chinese market. Those who demand healthy products and highly nutritious, and with beneficial health effects.

Bread and processed foods are our initial market (ITM). Through them we hope to produce cash flows to support operations and develop other segments, such as the nutritional supplements industry; The I+D industry For foods based on vegetable protein. The pharmaceutical industry with nutraceuticals for diabetic patients and antioxidants for cardiac patients (resveratrol). "Abundant in Vitis vinifera"

• Because I find a gigantic platform of professionals linked to prestigious universities, foundations, NGO organizations and companies. All involved working to solve problems of the world population and the environment.
• My real interest is focused on finding support to finance my solution due to the impact it will have on the population in the short and long term. Especially. I hope to hear the voice or see the index finger of the corporations and companies linked to the development of novel foods and, in general, I hope support from the big food industry and related market.Because I find a gigantic platform of professionals linked to prestigious universities, foundations, NGO organizations and companies. All involved working to solve problems of the human and planet.
• Requires a solution: Health problems and the development of chronic diseases in the population, generated by a diet rich in sugars and saturated fats. With deficit or no consumption of dietary fiber, they have caused a sustained increase in levels of overweight and obesity in recent decades.
• It requires a solution: Those who suffer from hunger and the 150 million malnourished children today will be joined by millions of other entire populations that will go into poverty and hunger as a consequence of the economic impact of the pandemic and will surely grow in the coming decades.
• Requires Solution: The effects of climate change and global warming will greatly reduce arable land areas. We must build sustainable food systems and produce food with a low CO2 footprint

The disposal of large volumes of organic material in the wine industry each year in the world (Chile 2019-700,000 tons) is a great opportunity for large-scale production of food raw material.

This undoubtedly requires the participation of many actors involved from the supply chain to the multiple end products that can be obtained from this food material.

The link of collaborative and associative work that is required to meet the great challenge is relevant and therefore it will be relevant to replicate on a large scale what we hope to achieve in Chile with the bakery industry in the first place and the processed food industry of mass consumption . to reduce the use of sugars and saturated fats and replace them with this material rich in natural sugars, fiber and antioxidants of high nutritional value.

As a priority I would like to get close links with associations and organizations. Actors in the food distributor markets saludables.Partnerships with large companies in the food industry worldwide "Collaboration agreements".

MIT Food Science and Biotechnology Faculties

Later Government entities, public feeding programsFAO, WHO and NGOs to channel our efforts to help.

Links with foundations for the environment.

We are focused on helping to solve the historical and future problems related to feeding the world population.

Hunger and obesity. Two problems that have a common root in food. lack of food produces hunger and a poor diet produces obesity.

Our solution will work tirelessly to take advantage of and process the large volumes of organic material, a wine product, rich in fiber and antioxidants, with high nutritional content and functional attributes beneficial to the health of the population and to feed future generations. I do not know

Millions of tons of organic material are produced each year in the world by the wine industry.

This gigantic volume of organic material is deposited on agricultural land for decomposition and degradation. "Justified" In the production of natural fertilizer.

This decomposition process generates serious environmental problems of acid contamination of the soil. and the decomposition process releases large volumes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Mainly methane gas and carbon dioxide
