The following executive summary describes a sustainable business solution. It focuses on solving a relevant social problem in Perú, like nutritious and healthy eating. The COVID- 19 pandemic, followed by the fertilizer crisis and the war between Russia and Ukraine, have significantly affected agriculture in Perú, which according to the latest report from the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) presents that 16.6 million people living in moderate or severe food insecurity, that is, 50.5% of the population. They warned that this situation leaves no alternative but the consumption of ultra-processed foods with a high content of sugar, salt, and saturated fats that are harmful to health. An annual publication by the FAO detailed that in 2022 about 16.6 million Peruvians are in food insecurity, one and a half million more than in the previous year (RPP, 2022). In addition, the 3.28 dollars a day per person required to have access to a healthy diet leaves out more than 20% of the Peruvian population. This situation affects vulnerable populations such as children, women, and indigenous communities and generates diseases such as malnutrition, obesity, and anemia. The solution consists of developing a nutritious, healthy, pleasant taste, and easy-to- prepare product for public consumption, which allows the market to offer a product with a high protein value, which is of vegetable origin (more sustainable), allowing the consumer to cover 38% of their daily protein requirements (per 100 g hamburger) and comply with international standards regulated by FAO and the Codex Alimentarius, which in turn will facilitate the scalability of the project and the internationalization of the product. Finally, we can conclude that it is feasible to produce and market a healthy, nutritious, environmentally friendly product with a competitive price and accessible to a significant percentage of peruvians.
