The winners of the 11th Concours National de la Création Agroalimentaire Biologique (National Organic Food Design Competition) have set themselves the challenge of providing sustainable solutions that meet the growing demands of consumers, while drawing on emerging agricultural models. The 1st Prize was awarded to "Etika Spirulina", fresh spirulina produced on an urban farm, and the 2nd Prize & Prix Coup de Coeur Etudiants to "La Marmotte Gourmande", allergen-free cookies.
For "Etika Spirulina" (1st Prize), the innovation consists in marketing fresh spirulina produced on an urban farm in Villeneuve d'Ascq (59). "La Marmotte Gourmande" (2nd Prize and Prix Coup de
coeur Etudiants) manufactures sweet cookies free of major allergens, catering for a growing profile of consumers with food allergies. Like Gers Développement, the competition's founder, and Ecocert France, its long-standing sponsor, these start-ups are banking on innovation to promote a more sustainable food model, anchored in consumer trends and connected to the challenges of agro-ecological transition. Through this competition, Gers Développement intends to showcase the organic food market's ability to take a step forward and position itself as a leader in this transition. The two prize-winners will share €30,000 in cash and services, reflecting these values. Awarded their prizes on the Conseil Départemental du Gers stand, they were then welcomed on the Agence Bio stand to present their innovations.
