Global and pioneering project…in food market research and communication
An innovative and informal project in the way to research, travel and communication ... with a blog instead of detailed surveillance. Conferences and hotels are swapped for the backpack and hostels, and contacts are personal, physical and virtual.

The objectives
Consumer approach to scientific and technological advances that allow food innovation
To integrate the consumer in the early R & D stages, learn the trends (which involve the motivations that influence consumer choices), and determine the drivers of food innovation, it is necessary to adjust the innovation and business strategies to the real demands of the market.
