Proposal

The core problem that Gud n Healthy seeks to solve is how to make healthy, high-quality food accessible and affordable to everyone, while supporting environmental sustainability and strengthening the local community of producers. This involves facing several specific challenges:

Accessibility and Affordability: Ensure that healthy and natural products are available at reasonable prices to all segments of the population, including low-income communities.

Direct Producer-Consumer Connection: Eliminate intermediaries in the supply chain to improve producers’ margins and reduce costs for consumers, maintaining the freshness and quality of products.

Consumer Education and Awareness: Cultivate a conscious and responsible community that values and prioritizes sustainable and ethical products, which involves educating consumers about the benefits of such choices.

Environmental Sustainability: Implement practices that respect and preserve the environment, reducing the carbon footprint, minimizing food waste and using sustainable production and packaging methods.

Addressing these challenges within an innovative business model like Gud n Healthy’s could significantly contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The main people affected by the problem of access to healthy and sustainable foods are:

Low Income Consumers: These people often face greater difficulties in accessing healthy products due to their higher cost compared to less healthy options. Economically disadvantaged areas of Lima may have less availability of fresh, nutritious food.

Small Farmers and Local Producers: These groups may face significant challenges due to competition with large agribusinesses and lack of access to markets where they can sell their products at a fair price. Additionally, supply chain intermediation often reduces your profit margins.

Community in General: The urban population of Lima, which is exposed to environmental problems derived from unsustainable practices in agriculture and waste management. This includes pollution and excessive use of natural resources.

The problem is located mainly in urban and peri-urban areas of Lima where:

High population density can limit access to markets that offer fresh and affordable products.

Socioeconomic disparities between different districts of Lima can affect the availability and access to healthy foods. Districts such as Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Lurigancho, and others like them, may face greater challenges in terms of access and affordability.

Addressing this problem in Lima would require an integrated approach that not only improves the food supply chain, but also addresses food education and public policies to foster an environment more conducive to sustainable consumption and production.

The problem of accessibility and affordability of healthy foods in Lima is serious and multidimensional, affecting public health, the local economy, and the environment. Lack of access to nutritious foods can lead to chronic diseases, exacerbating the burden on the health system. Economic inequalities limit low-income families’ access to these foods, perpetuating poverty and affecting development. Furthermore, unsustainable production practices harm sthe environment, which can compromise future food production. Strengthening the local economy by supporting sustainable producers and food systems is crucial to comprehensively addressing this issue.
