On Saturday, a seminar was held on the Icelandic food industry, environmental issues and ecological innovation. At the same time, an exhibition of students' projects in eco-friendly food innovation was held, but students had competed for the title of the most promising and eco-friendly innovation idea in the field of food in 2013 (Ecotrophelia).
Berglind Ósk Alfreðsdóttir, Helga Franklínsdóttir and Sigríður Hulda Sigurðardóttir students at the University of Iceland and the Iceland Academy of the Arts won at Ecotrophelia Iceland this time but they produced and designed the product Hai Shen which is a sea oyster soup and is intended to be marketed in the Chinese market. The soup received excellent reviews in terms of taste, appearance, development and not least how environmentally friendly the production is.
Ecotrophelila Iceland is hosted by the Iceland Innovation Center, Matís and the Confederation of Icelandic Industries.
Finally, it should be noted that the winners of the competition will take the product to the European Ecotrophelia competition in Cologne in October.
