Advances in biotechnology allow the development of cell culture systems for botanical species with high added value, guaranteeing sustainable biomass production under safe and economically viable conditions.
The next generation of these phytonutrient-enriched botanical products as a source of health, will require the development and use of biotechnological processes and the application of molecular biology techniques that allow overcoming the limitations of climate, water, and time.
Its local production will avoid long supply chains, while being more efficient and affordable than conventional crops, without generating tons of waste, with transparency, traceability, and safety. In short, it will favor the development of plant ingredients grown intelligently, abundantly and sustainably in a controlled environment.
We want to take advantage of the available technology for its application to the development of cell biomass of several botanical species (non-genetically modified) of high economic interest in the pharmaceutical sector, food supplements and functional health.
