A varied diet for healthy eating

In parallel to the industrial culture, sustainable and diverse food production has established itself in Aargau – from cultivation to fresh and processed foods and dietary supplements. Faced with population growth and climate change, local food tech companies are developing solutions such as pest-resistant seeds, high-protein snacks, meat substitutes and alternative nutrient sources.

Products for better performance and well-being

The trend towards enhancing performance in exercise or day-to-day life has given rise to an industry for functional food. The selection of products on offer ranges from energy drinks, kombucha and protein bars to dairy substitutes. Cannabis products such as cosmetics, oils and spreads are also gaining in importance.

 

Many established brands have expanded their range with their own functional food lines, while innovative newcomers enter the market with fresh ideas.
