Faced with the growing need and lack of awareness of a complete and varied diet, Mikuna was proposed as a sustainable solution that utilizes agile design thinking methodology to develop an innovative business model aligned with environmental care. The problem aimed to be addressed is the growing concern within the population belonging to socioeconomic levels (NSE) A, B, and C of Lima Metropolitana initially, regarding both health issues they currently face or might face, as well as the difficulty they experience in accessing a wide range of healthy, functional, and organic products within their economic reach that ensures them a complete and varied diet. In this context, Mikuna is suggested as a solution, which is a mobile and web application that will create a sustainable business model by eliminating intermediaries, reducing costs, improving supply chain efficiency, and providing benefits to both consumers and producers, who are the main stakeholders in an ecosystem focused on healthy, functional, and organic products. On one hand, consumers will have access to high- quality foods, and on the other hand, producers will see improvements in their profit margins by eliminating intermediaries and establishing a direct connection with the market. During the design process, the desirability, feasibility, and viability of the proposed solution were confirmed, which positively impacts the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 - Good Health and Well-being and SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production, actively contributing to the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the reduction of environmental impact in the food chain. Finally, positive results were obtained in terms of economic and social net present value (NPV), with values of USD1,108,689 and USD17,005,088, respectively, for a 5-year horizon, indicating that Mikuna represents 6.5% of the value generated by the project for society and the environment.
