The Portuguese company ''4Bio Inova'' makes and distributes a range of products in the areas of organic farming, food processing, forestry and rural tourism. The company particularly aims to popularize the consumption of organic foods by offering high quality products that are both tailored to customer expectations and fairly priced. ''4Bio Inova'' also works with its networks of organic producers to promote social responsibility and environmental protection

This project set-out to apply new technologies to the commercialization of organic food and farming in Portugal through the vertical integration of production and processing. Specific objectives of the project included: 1) the introduction of new and innovative technologies for the preservation of organic products, and; 2) the development of new fresh and processed organic products

The main expenditure in the project was the purchase of new equipment / technologies for the conservation of organic products – notably: i) IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) for the rapid freezing of fresh organic products to ensure maintenance of the highest food quality, and; ii) FD (Freeze - Drying) for the efficient drying of organic fresh and processed products, including fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, shellfish and ready-made meals
