Bad eating habits and massive consumption affects people's quality of life, deteriorating their physical and mental health. The study focuses its research on middle-aged adults between 40 and 50 years old that belong to NSE C of Lima Metropolitana, who experience the decline of their physical capacities and become more vulnerable to diseases. Behaviors based on food consumption are due to the negative impact of food marketing, which encourages an unsustainable lifestyle due to fast food and over-processed foods. In response, theories such as Nudge and Design for Behavioural Change were implemented as strategies to guide responsible decision making. In countries like the United States, the design of products and strategies to rationalize and balance food consumption, as well as promoting the purchase of organic supplies, have not shown successful long-term results that ensures good eating habits and improve health. In the Peruvian context, no major contributions have been found from the promotion of local superfoods, which are nutritious and healthy. “De Raíz” was born from the remembrance of the imaginary of Peruvian folklore, linking the roots of the local culture and its agriculture. It is a kit of kitchen utensils complemented with a mobile application that promotes responsible eating habits based on balance and healthy consumption, taking advantage of the benefits offered by Peruvian agriculture, rich in native genetic resources and with health-enhancing properties. Inductive studies such as surveys, interviews and focus groups were used to understand the behavioral habits, motivations and barriers of the users involved. Data were interpreted and analyzed to uncover insights and propose new forms of education on healthy and responsible food consumption. “De Raíz” manages to shape and improve the eating habits of the target audience through long-term changes in behavior and habits, preparations and the consumption of nutritious Peruvian superfoods linked to the remembrance of the imaginary of Peruvian folklore.
