In this scenario, experts agree that the main areas of opportunity for Navarra&#8217;s agri-food sector are linked to health and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Being a reference in healthy and sustainable food will mean, therefore, the unavoidable development of <b>quality products<\/b>, nutritionally balanced, and betting on new <b>vegetable and alternative proteins<\/b>. To achieve this, the region will have to combine innovation in sustainability, health and wellness, as well as practicality, in order to differentiate itself in the market.<\/p>\n<p><b>Collaboration <\/b>between all the agents in the sector will be crucial, especially with a focus on an increasingly informed and demanding consumer. Here, companies in Navarra have demonstrated resilience and investment in innovation and technology, which has strengthened them even in times of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this is the work carried out by <b>Florette<\/b>, as highlighted by its head of the R&amp;D Department, <b>Miren Beunza<\/b>: &#8220;In recent years, innovation is playing a key role in the agri-food sector as it is enabling companies to achieve better results and be more efficient&#8221;. &#8220;In our case, it has become a key strategic axis, since we apply it to our entire value chain, from the field to the final product,&#8221; she adds.<\/p>\n<p>In this research, development and innovation work, the Milagro-based company is not alone. &#8220;Collaboration with companies, clusters and technology and research centers is key to the development of our R&amp;D&#8221;, acknowledges its top manager, who also adds as other factors that add to this strategy &#8220;the development of technology, the strength of the market and the strategic location, as well as human capital&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0822d4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0822d4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3c7cf17\" data-id=\"3c7cf17\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e00106d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e00106d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Leading knowledge agents<\/strong><\/h3><p>Apart from this technology center, the agri-food knowledge network also includes other important agents such as, for example, the Navarre Institute of Agri-food Technologies and Infrastructures (<b>INTIA<\/b>) and its infrastructure specialized in two main areas: <b>EVENA <\/b>(Viticulture and Oenology Station of Navarra)) for research, experimentation and dissemination of advanced techniques in the cultivation of vines; and the <strong>Lactological Institute<\/strong>, which provides a comprehensive service to dairy and livestock companies in sustainable, healthy and high quality production.<\/p><p>Moreover, the Institute of Food Sciences of the <strong>University of Navarra<\/strong> makes use of its extensive experience in pharmaceutical development to promote research in nutrition. This multidisciplinary platform covers the entire process necessary for the development of nutraceutical and functional foods. The <strong>Institute of Agrobiotechnology<\/strong> (IdAB-CSIC), jointly owned by the Public University of Navarra (UPNA), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Government of Navarra, specializes in various areas of biomedical research.<\/p><p>In the same line is the institute of basic and applied research of the Public University of Navarra<strong> IS-FOOD<\/strong>. Its lines of research focus on three main areas (the challenges of human nutrition in the 21st century, the promotion of sustainable production together with the improvement of food quality, as well as innovation in the agri-food sector); and five main areas: soil, water and input management; primary production; food innovation; food consumption, nutrition and health; and business management.<\/p><p>The network is completed, on the one hand, with the innovation accelerator <strong>Orizont<\/strong>; and <strong>NAGRIFOOD<\/strong>, Agri-Food Cluster of Navarra. The latter, made up of a hundred associates, aims to align the agri-food industry with European innovation and sustainability policies, as well as to detect business and development opportunities that benefit the value chain (producers, industry and distribution) present in the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9801f69 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9801f69\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0215044\" data-id=\"0215044\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bf89d8 elementor-blockquote--button-skin-bubble elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-view-icon-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"5bf89d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cCOLLABORATION WITH COMPANIES, CLUSTERS, TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH CENTERS IS KEY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR R&amp;D.
